Why this cup earns its place
A 100ml espresso cup holds a double shot with room for the crema head — no more, no less. The hand-painted petal pink means each cup has its own tone variation. That's not inconsistency; it's the mark of the glaze work that makes Churchill Stonecast worth the margin over uniform production ware.
The vitrified finish bonds at high temperature, so the glaze does not chip or dull through commercial service. Colour stays true across 500+ dishwasher cycles at 70°C. Pink reads clear and warm even after stacks in a tight cupboard or rapid service swings from hot pull to cold rinse.
These pair well with the matching 118mm saucer (DX033) for a composed service, or sit alone as a shot cup on the pass. The small footprint makes storage easy — a full week's service fits a single shelf, and nesting is tight enough to survive transport.
