Know before you buy
No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. To preserve the delicate floral band and the integrity of the fine ceramic, we recommend hand washing only.
The cup is designed as a standard 3-inch tea cup, which is typical for formal tea service. It is intended for traditional tea or coffee portions rather than large-volume mugs.
Because these items are no longer in production, they should be treated as collectible vintage tableware. We recommend hand washing and careful storage to maintain their condition and aesthetic appeal.
No, the set includes only the footed cup and the matching saucer. It does not come with a display stand, infuser, or any other accessories.
While the set is crafted from durable fine ceramic and is perfectly functional for formal dining, its discontinued status and delicate design make it better suited for special occasions rather than heavy, everyday use.
