THE BREUER ESPRESSO CUP - in 'Sahara Sands + Blue Grotto'

Sharp. Minimal. Grounded. The BREUER Espresso Cup is all clean lines and quiet strength – a compact form with a square-set profile and no unnecessary detail. Just clay, hand-thrown and pared back to its essentials.

Named after Marcel Breuer, it channels his rational modernism and love of geometry – built like a tiny building in miniature. The proportions are tight, the walls are slightly weighty, and the shape feels good in the hand: solid, assured, architectural. Sized for a single or double shot, or whatever you’re calling espresso today. It doesn’t ask for much – just a good roast and five quiet minutes.

This glaze combination gives a layered surface that shifts from warm to cool. ‘Sahara Sands’ lays the foundation – a soft, sandy yellow-beige with natural variation and warmth. Over the top, ‘Blue Grotto’ is sponged on giving a deep Prussian blue in a mottled texture. Sun-baked base, shadowy glaze – like smoke moving across sand.

Made in small batches, with subtle variations in glaze and form – because even the most structured designs still carry the mark of the maker. Dishwasher safe.
