Know before you buy
Due to the delicate bone china construction and the gold rim detailing, hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the finish and prevent fading or chipping.
This teacup is designed for traditional tea service, typically holding between 6 and 7 ounces, which is standard for formal tea sets of this style.
The gold diamond pattern is applied with high-quality craftsmanship intended for longevity. However, to maintain its luster, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents during cleaning.
While the set is durable enough for occasional formal dining, it is crafted as a fine china piece. It is best suited for special occasions or afternoon tea rather than heavy, everyday use.
No, the scalloped rim is primarily a decorative, textured detail. It is designed to be ergonomic and does not interfere with the comfort or flow of drinking.
