Know before you buy
Due to the delicate gold detailing and fine porcelain craftsmanship, it is recommended to hand wash this cup to preserve the integrity of the pattern and finish.
The Canton cup has a 6 oz capacity, which is a standard size for traditional tea service.
No, this cup is not microwave safe because it features metallic gold accents, which can spark or damage the porcelain when exposed to microwave radiation.
The classic Canton cup shape is designed as a handleless vessel, allowing you to cradle the cup directly in your hands to enjoy the warmth of your tea.
Herend uses high-quality materials and traditional firing techniques, so the gold accents are durable. However, to keep the finish vibrant, avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
