Know before you buy
No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate platinum trim and fine porcelain construction, we recommend hand washing these pieces to preserve their finish.
The footed cup stands at 2 1/4 inches tall. Its compact size is typical of traditional tea and coffee service sets from this era.
Because this is a vintage item, handle it with care to avoid chipping the porcelain or wearing down the platinum trim. Always hand wash with a mild detergent and dry with a soft cloth to maintain its luster.
No, this listing includes one footed cup and one matching saucer. It is a two-piece set intended for individual use or to supplement an existing collection.
Platinum is generally resistant to tarnishing, but it can be sensitive to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools. To keep the trim looking its best, avoid using scouring pads or acidic cleaning agents.
