Description
Material
Crafted from high-quality porcelain clay, fired with semi-matte glaze, and finished with high-quality ceramic transfers.
Craftsmanship Process
Our beaker cups undergo a meticulous three-stage firing process. We start by press-molding the clay body and applying a delicate, semi-matte eggshell glaze with light speckles. The inside of each cup is first hand-sprayed with glaze, followed by two careful spray applications on the exterior to achieve a smooth, creamy finish. Artisans then meticulously hand-transfer a screen-printed pattern around the cup. After an initial firing, illustrations and the Poppy & Pepper brand stamp are added, and the cup is fired once more to complete the process.
Design
Our beaker cup is inspired by a teacup and saucer created in 1930s, which had an elevated foot and slightly inward-tilting edge. We wrap the cup with patterns and leave a window to reveal the kangaroo paw illustrations.
Versatility
Great for a vase, Grissini holder, utensil holder and a cocktail cup. It pairs perfectly with our Wax Flowers dessert plate.
Options
Our beaker cup is also available in Bottle Brush beaker cup
Note: We photographed our cherished ceramic pieces under studio lighting, but the warmth of the glaze may look slightly different in various lighting conditions. The flow of the glaze can cause speckles to cluster unevenly, leading to variations in their distribution across different pieces. Differences in glaze flow due to hand-dipping and spraying, along with slight variations in the placement of patterns and illustrations, underscore the unique, handcrafted nature of Poppy & Pepper ceramics and are part of their charm

Care
Dishwasher, microwave and oven safe with care.
Ideally wares should not touch each other in dishwasher to prevent scratches on glaze.
Sudden temperature change, such as from oven to cold bench, or from freezer to oven, may cause thermal shock and damage your wares. Always place cold dish onto the wire rack in oven and place hot dish on cloth or wooden surface.
Due to the the nature of the semi-matte glaze, prolonged contact with harsh metal utensils may leave consistent marks on the surface of glaze. We recommend using wooden or high-quality metal utensils.
