Know before you buy
No, these pieces are not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted faience ceramic, we recommend hand-washing them gently to preserve the artwork.
Because every item is individually painted by a resident artist at the Henriot Quimper studio, slight variations in brushwork and color are expected. This ensures that your specific set is a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
Each espresso cup has a capacity of 4.0 ounces, which is perfectly sized for a standard espresso or a double shot.
Every piece in the set is marked and signed by the artist who painted it. These markings serve as a guarantee of the item's origin and adherence to the brand's centuries-old traditions.
The set is crafted from traditional faience, a fine tin-glazed earthenware that has been the signature medium of Henriot Quimper since 1685.
