Know before you buy
As a traditional demitasse cup, this piece is designed specifically for a small, concentrated serving of espresso or Turkish coffee, typically holding between 2 and 3 ounces.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted artistry and fine porcelain construction, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent to preserve the finish.
No, this piece is not microwave safe. The fine porcelain and hand-painted details are not designed to withstand the heat intensity of a microwave.
This item is crafted specifically for your order in Limoges, France. Because it is made to your request rather than pulled from existing inventory, it requires a lead time of 8 to 12 weeks for production and delivery.
While durable, this piece is designed primarily for formal dining and special occasions. Its hand-painted finish is best preserved when used for curated coffee rituals rather than everyday, heavy-duty use.
