Portofino
Primo — 6oz The Flat White Cup
Purpose-built for barista-standard flat whites or cappuccinos — a wide mouth and rounded base for the perfect pour, sized precisely for the coffee purists.
Like a little more? The 8oz Classic or the 12oz Grande are perfect for those who love larger coffees or tea.
Every glaze tells a story. Each one named after a destination that inspired its colours, its character, and its mood.
Portofino: Where pastel-coloured houses tumble down to a harbour filled with fishing boats and the Ligurian Sea shimmers in the afternoon light. The Portofino cup captures that particular Italian cool — sun-warmed, unhurried, and impossibly stylish.
What's Included: Every Glaze cup includes a 100% food-safe silicone lid and arrives gift-ready — packaged in a premium gift box.
Disclaimer: Every Glaze cup is handmade in small batches in Portugal. No two are ever the same. Glaze variations and slight differences in volume are part of what makes each one uniquely yours.

This cup has become part of my daily slow moments 🤎 The Belize Classic has a rich, moody finish that looks stunning on camera and even better on my table. It's lightweight yet sturdy, keeps my drinks warm, and has that lovely handmade feel you can't get from shop-bought mugs. It would make a beautiful gift too, if I could bear to part with it 😍
The Belize Classic is even prettier in person 😍 The deep blue glaze melts into a soft green band over a raw clay base, so every piece is unique. It feels solid, sits perfectly in the hand, and is just the right size for a cosy hot chocolate. Already eyeing up my next one from Glaze 🤎
I love this cup and my normal coffee just tastes so much better for some reason! Its amazing quality, stylish, feels nice to hold and easy to clean.
The cup is very cute, nice and thick, cosy in the hand, and exactly what I was after! Would definitely recommend for coffee-lovers :)
Shipping was also nice and speedy!
Beautifully made, lovely to drink from and great size for a flat white.
Beautiful cup. I get comments and pleasure from it with every coffee!
Didn’t think I’d find a mug for my flat white. Perfect size and works well with my sage coffee machine. Can’t drink in any other mug now. The colours are as shown in image. Definitely worth the price.
Such a Great cup and well made. The quality is Amazing and definitely worth the money
Given that this is just a cup, I feel it's wildly overpriced, especially given that it doesn't even come with a silicone sleeve. I didn't realise this at purchase, and I have ended up using a sleeve from a different cup because I can't justify the cost of postage for ordering just a sleeve. Reactive glazes are quite on trend, so similar cups are fairly easy to buy for less. Given that I've had to use my own sleeve anyway, I think I should have done that. I've taken this as a sign that I shouldn't be clicking any more silly ads or allowing social media to get me into an anxious "buy now" state.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear the cup wasn’t quite what you were hoping for. We understand your frustration regarding the sleeve. We keep sleeves as an optional accessory because many customers enjoy drinking directly from the ceramic and prefer the cleaner, more minimalist design without one, but we appreciate that this may not have been clear at the point of purchase.
While there are certainly less expensive reusable cups available, Glaze is intentionally made differently. Each cup is handcrafted and individually glazed in small batches in Portugal, making every piece unique. We focus on creating a product that feels special to use every day and is designed to last for many years rather than being replaced frequently.
We genuinely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both our products and the information we provide to customers. We hope your cup continues to serve you well, even if it wasn’t quite the purchase experience you expected.
Lovely cup. First one unfortunately arrived broken but customer service sent a replacement. Looking forward to many delicious coffees in it
Really love these cups, tea and coffee definitely tastes better. Highly recommend.
Bought this for my coffee loving, health conscious boyfriend and he absolutely LOVES it! So well made and the design is so cool, and he said he prefers drinking out of this than regular takeaway cups which contain micro plastics! Highly recommend!!!!
The colours of my Tokyo cup are gorgeous and it honestly makes even a quickly made coffee a little bit more special. The lid fits securely and the cork wrap is so useful especially as I love a black coffee while I walk to work. So delighted I bought this!
Love my Glaze cup.
A little smaller than expected but glad I bought the largest one. Used for post winter swim coffees at the lake. Love that it is sturdy, well made and is dishwasher safe. Very pleased with this purchase and no doubt I’ll be buying more as I love the colours.
Really nice solid mug. Beautiful design &colours thathave been noticed at takeaway outlets. Only query is that the glaze on the inside of mug definitely shows how far the cup has been filled.
Really pleased with my purchase; perfect size for a commercial flat white. Looks beautiful and feels great to hold and drink from. Friends instantly noticed and appreciated it.
I have 2 beautiful Glaze cups now and this little sleeve is the perfect addition. I get so many people asking where they’re from every time I use it. Wouldn’t go back to anything else now!
If you looking for a contained/keep hot or cold kind of mug, this is not it. But it does what a mug with lid would do - allow you to take away drinks. And it looks pretty!
A beautiful “keep cup”.
Lovely tactile ceramic cup.
Great company.
Fab service.
Highly recommend.
The bundle has provided each one of us with a lovely cup! I have the Tokyo, my daughter wanted the pink one, my son the blue and my husband had the one left over!
Hot chocolate is not always finished and both my kids love the silicon lids instead of the plastic ones. My daughter is especially happy to have a cup that has been lovingly made and no one else has one exactly like hers!
Too hot to hold, no integrated sleeve to be able to hold hot drinks
The quality is absolutely top notch. A really beautiful item to enjoy every day; the colours are very uplifting and coffee tastes really great from it, none of that chemically/papery flavouring from single use cups. And, each use saves more unrecyclable waste. I shall buy more as presents without doubt.
Just what I wanted for my weekly takeaway Waitrose coffee. Their latte fits perfectly.
Perfect size for a Flat White & a lovely design.
