Know before you buy
No, these pieces are not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to the vintage earthenware construction, we recommend hand washing them to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the floral pattern.
Each cup in this set has an 8 oz (250ml) capacity, making them the standard size for a traditional cup of tea or coffee.
As these are vintage items, you may notice minor surface blemishes consistent with gentle, everyday use. However, the earthenware structure and the tan floral artwork remain fully intact and display-ready.
No, this set includes only the four tea cups and their matching saucers. It does not come with an infuser, strainer, or storage stand.
Franciscan earthenware is known for its durability and substantial feel. While it offers a rustic, artisanal charm, it is sturdier than fine bone china, making it well-suited for regular use.
