Know before you buy
No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the fine bone china construction and delicate gold trim, we recommend hand washing these pieces to preserve their finish.
The Harlow pattern was officially discontinued by Royal Doulton in 2001. This means it is no longer in production, making it a collectible item that is highly sought after by those looking to complete a set or add a vintage piece to their collection.
The cup features a 3-inch footed base, which provides a weighted, stable foundation. This design helps prevent tipping and adds a traditional, sophisticated silhouette to your tea service.
No, these cups are not designed to be stackable. Because of their footed base and delicate bone china material, they should be stored individually or on a display stand to avoid chipping or scratching.
Each order includes one footed tea cup and one matching saucer. Please note that this set does not include a lid, infuser, or display stand.
