Know before you buy
This means the item is a genuine vintage piece that has never been used or sold at retail. It has been preserved in its original state since its production period, ensuring it remains free of chips, cracks, or signs of wear.
The cup measures 2 1/2 inches in height and 2 1/4 inches in diameter. It is specifically designed for demitasse servings, which typically hold 2 to 3 ounces of espresso or strong coffee.
Yes, this set features the classic, deep Cobalt glaze produced by Fiesta between 1993 and 2001. Because it is a retired color, it is a perfect match for other pieces from that specific production era.
The stick handle is a signature Fiesta design element that offers a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. While it provides a distinct look for formal dining, it is best suited for those who prefer a delicate grip compared to traditional looped handles.
While Fiesta ceramic is generally known for its durability, we recommend hand washing this vintage set to preserve the integrity of the original glossy finish. Given its age and status as a collectible, gentle care is advised to maintain its pristine condition.
