This is a standard 3-inch footed cup. Its traditional design is specifically proportioned for formal tea or coffee service.
While the bone china is durable, this set is best suited for special occasions or formal dining. Because it is a discontinued 1996 pattern, it is often treated as a collectible item to be preserved rather than used for everyday service.
