Know before you buy
No, this vintage piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the ceramic finish and the integrity of the older Camelot pattern.
No, this is a flat-style cup design and does not feature a handle. It is intended to be held by the body of the cup.
This piece measures 2 5/8 inches in height. It is a classic, smaller-scale vintage teacup, making it ideal for a traditional tea service rather than large-volume coffee servings.
Because of its age and material, avoid exposing the cup to extreme temperature fluctuations, such as pouring boiling water directly into a cold cup. Hand washing with mild soap and avoiding abrasive scrubbers will help maintain the dark green band and ceramic surface.
While it is a beautiful collector's item, it is crafted from durable ceramic and is perfectly suitable for everyday tea service. Just be mindful of the manual care requirements since it is not compatible with modern kitchen appliances.
