Know before you buy
No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. To preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the decorative pattern, we recommend hand washing only.
The footed cup stands at 2 1/4 inches tall. It is designed as a classic tea or coffee cup size rather than a large modern mug.
While it is durable enough for occasional use, the age and discontinued status of the Spring Laurel pattern make it more suitable for special occasions or as a display piece to avoid accidental damage.
This set is not certified lead-free. As it is a vintage piece produced before modern safety standards were strictly applied to all ceramic dinnerware, it is best used for decorative purposes or occasional service.
No, these cups are not designed to be stackable. Due to the footed base and the delicate nature of the ceramic, they should be stored individually on a shelf or in a display case.
