Small and essential, designed for espresso coffee. Whether you drink espresso in the morning or after lunch, whether you take your time to wake up, or you drink it while rushing in to the world, sipping it from the espresso cup of the Contatto Collection will activate all your senses. Materials and process We use five different stoneware mixes coming from Germany, a country rich of this type of clay. Once fired, stoneware turns into a strong and dense ceramic material. Each cup is handmade at the wheel and trimmed when lather-hard. The handle is then carefully attached and the piece is let air-dry, fired at 980°C, sanded, glazed and fired again at 1220°C. The inside of each piece is covered with a glossy, food-safe glaze that gives an interesting visual contrast with the external matte surface. Indeed, the external surface is left unglazed, showing the natural color of the selected stoneware. Variations in shade, color, glaze application, and finishing may occur, depending in the particular story of each piece. These differences are to be looked for and embraced as they make every piece unique. Care instructions Dishwasher safe. We recommend to carefully place the piece in the dishwasher, so that it does not move or hit anything during the washing cycle. Not suitable for microwave and oven. Avoid temperature shock. Do not place the piece on direct heat sources. Product specs Material: StonewareCapacity: ~70 mlMade in Padova (Italy) Show more
