Revol names the shade Coconut Milk and describes the alabaster layer beneath it, and the two together are what give the surface depth instead of flatness. \u003cstrong\u003eVariation between pieces is what that process produces, and it is part of what you are choosing when you buy a fired glaze rather than a printed one.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you want six cups that match to the eye like printed ones, a fired layered glaze is the wrong technique to buy into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeven Ounces Is a Decision\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tea cup at this size holds one serving that stays hot. Mugs hold more and lose the last third to the room, which is the trade nobody names when they buy the bigger vessel. Six of these covers a table without anyone drinking cold tea, and the saucer underneath does the job it was invented for: it catches the drip from the pot and gives the spoon somewhere to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSix Cups and Six Saucers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying the pairs together is what makes them usable as a service. A cup without its saucer sits directly on a cloth, and mismatched saucers under matched cups is the detail people notice without being able to say why. Twelve pieces also want shelf space: cups stack, saucers stack, and the two stacks together take more room than the box suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShade, Stacking and Washing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the six cups match exactly?\u003c\/strong\u003e Closely, not exactly.
