Why this cups & mug earns its place
A full-size coffee cup at 34 cl, this format suits generous morning servings and all-day-drink hospitality settings. The 34 cl capacity holds a standard large coffee or a full mug of tea — larger than the 23 cl format but not oversized. Vitrified porcelain is durable enough for high-volume dishwashing, absorbs less water than earthenware, and resists the staining and crazing that compromise softer ceramics over time.
The earthy beige glaze brings warmth to the table, a neutral tone that softens the institutional feel of pure white and coordinates with different tableware schemes. Ariane's Shell Sand range was designed for venues wanting personality without compromise on durability. The cup stacks compactly, and the vitrified finish survives repeated commercial washing cycles without visible wear or degradation. Porcelain holds temperature well — a hot coffee stays hot and a cold drink stays cold longer than thinner glassware.
