Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Kiln Espresso Cup in Ocean is ideal for cafes, bistros, and home coffee enthusiasts looking to elevate their beverage presentation with a rustic, artisan aesthetic. Featuring a striking light-blue reactive glaze, these 85ml (3oz) cups offer a unique character to every piece; however, because the rim is hand-applied and meant to drip-dry naturally, slight variations in finish are intentional design features rather than defects.

FAQs
What is the capacity of the Olympia Kiln Espresso Cup?
Each cup has a capacity of 85ml, which is approximately 3oz.
Are these cups uniform in color?
No. The reactive-glazing process ensures that every piece has a unique color variation and design.
What saucers are compatible with these cups?
They are compatible with Olympia Kiln saucer models GP239, GP345, GP361, and GP477.
What are the dimensions of the cup?
Each cup measures 56mm in height and 34mm in diameter.
Why does the rim look inconsistent?
The rim is hand-applied and designed to drip-dry naturally, which creates a unique, individual finish on every cup.
Troubleshooting
Visible variations between cups in the same set
This is a characteristic of the reactive-glazing process. Each piece is intentionally individual and not considered a defect.
Cup does not fit securely on an existing saucer
Verify that you are using one of the compatible Olympia Kiln saucer models: GP239, GP345, GP361, or GP477.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For a cohesive look, ensure you pair these cups with the correct Olympia Kiln saucers. They are explicitly compatible with model numbers `GP239`, `GP345`, `GP361`, and `GP477`. To maintain the integrity of the reactive glaze and the hand-applied rim, handle the cups with care to prevent chipping. While the ceramic is durable, it is recommended to store them in a rack system or on a stable flat surface to avoid impact damage to the unique rim.
