Know before you buy
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted gold coral accents, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent to preserve the finish.
No, this piece is not microwave safe. The gold detailing contains metallic elements that are not suitable for microwave use.
The ten-faceted bowl is a signature design element that adds structural elegance and depth to the piece. It creates a unique play of light and shadow, distinguishing it from standard smooth-sided tea cups.
While the handle is designed primarily for its aesthetic appeal and artistic detail, it is shaped to provide a secure grip for standard tea service. It is best suited for formal, leisurely tea sessions rather than casual, everyday use.
This product is a two-piece set, which includes one tea cup and one matching saucer.
