The Serax La Mère cup without handle by Marie Michielssen is a quiet celebration of simplicity — a piece that redefines everyday elegance through minimal form and timeless tactility. Designed for those who appreciate calm, authentic gestures, this cup embodies the intimacy of daily rituals, where design serves not to impress, but to accompany. Each detail reflects Michielssen’s poetic approach to material and function, blending tenderness with contemporary restraint.
Essential Form, Emotional Depth
Made of high-quality stoneware, this Cup balances durability and delicacy with effortless grace. The serax la mère espresso cup comes in two natural tones — Off White and Venetian Red — that echo the earthy warmth of clay and fire. Its soft cylindrical shape, deliberately handleless, fits gently into the hand, enhancing the sensory experience of each sip. Suitable for both coffee and tea, the white ceramic no handle cup adds a touch of purity to any Serax Tableware collection, complementing minimalist or rustic table settings alike.
Design for the Senses
Beyond its visual harmony, the cup delivers on everyday practicality. Designed for alimentary use and entirely dishwasher safe, it withstands the rhythm of cafés, hotels, and home kitchens alike. Its matte glaze reveals subtle texture under light, while its thickness retains warmth beautifully — perfect for espresso, macchiato, or herbal infusions. In hospitality spaces, it pairs elegantly with Serax Home Accessories, inviting balance between functionality and aesthetic calm.
Styling and Ritual
Uncluttered and versatile, this minimalist espresso cup invites styling experimentation. Combine it with teapots or ceramic trays for layered compositions, or contrast its matte tones with polished metal and glass. Want ideas on how to use handleless cups? Try serving small desserts, dips, or sorbets to surprise guests with understated creativity. Its purity of form lets it transition effortlessly from breakfast nooks to sophisticated tasting menus.
Everyday Beauty, Timeless Character
La Mère Collection embraces the designer’s belief that utility and poetry can coexist. The Marie Michielssen table set encapsulates her signature language — warm, sincere, and tactile. Each cup feels like a memory molded in clay, a balance between nostalgia and modern living. In the world of Serax, these creations aren’t just vessels for coffee; they are quiet companions to life’s daily pauses, where elegance is found in the simplest touch.
