Know before you buy
No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate bone china construction and gold rim detailing, we recommend hand washing only to preserve the finish and pattern.
The cup is a standard 2 3/4-inch footed design, which is typical for traditional afternoon tea service.
To maintain the integrity of this vintage piece, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Gently hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately with a soft cloth to protect the gold trim and floral pattern.
No, the set does not include a display stand. It consists of one footed cup and one matching saucer.
Like many vintage fine china sets, the gold rim is a delicate finish that can wear over time if exposed to high heat or abrasive cleaning. With careful hand washing, the luster can be preserved for years to come.
