Know before you buy
This cup holds 3 ounces (9 cl), which is the standard size for a traditional single or double espresso shot.
The MEGA pattern features the iconic Blue Fluted motifs scaled up to a larger, bolder size. It maintains the classic Royal Copenhagen aesthetic while offering a more contemporary, graphic look.
Factory First quality indicates that the porcelain passed all of Royal Copenhagen’s rigorous quality control inspections during production. It is considered the highest grade of craftsmanship, free from the manufacturing imperfections found in 'second' quality pieces.
This set is in mint condition, meaning it shows no signs of wear, chips, cracks, or fading. It has been inspected to ensure it retains the pristine appearance expected of high-end porcelain.
While Royal Copenhagen porcelain is generally durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the hand-painted glaze over time. Please check the base of the piece for specific manufacturer icons regarding microwave safety.
