Marimekko Oiva Räsymatto soup or tea cup with ear black and white 2.5 dl

Tea from a real tea cup, from Marimekko

I drink tea from white beer glasses, large mugs, small mugs, and cups with and without handles. But my husband prefers a real teacup, like this Räsymatto one—it's shallow and has a lot of surface area. This way, the tea cools quickly, so you don't burn your tongue! This teacup, which also works perfectly for soup, is made of stoneware and features a subtle handle that's comfortable to hold.

Räsymatto, a Marimekko classic

Besides the most famous design from the Finnish brand Marimekko, the Unikko, we at Kleuroptafel also have a very extensive Räsymatto collection. These dots might remind you of a string of beads, but it's actually the texture of a rag rug! And that's precisely what makes it such an icon of Finnish outdoor living. People have plenty of these rag rugs in their allotments and holiday homes. For coziness, for warmth... In spring, all the rugs go out, covered with a carpet beater, washed, and dried. What a lot of work. Just think of that when you're quietly enjoying your cup of tea or soup!
