Know before you buy
The stoneware construction provides natural insulation, making the cups comfortable to hold with a warm beverage. However, if you prefer your coffee piping hot, you may want to hold the cup by the top rim or allow it to cool for a moment before handling.
Because each piece is handcrafted, the glaze patterns and speckles will vary slightly from the product photos. These subtle differences are intentional and serve as a hallmark of the authentic, one-of-a-kind nature of Gina DeSantis Ceramics.
Yes, these cups are both microwave and dishwasher safe. They are designed for everyday use and can withstand standard cleaning and heating cycles.
A 16-ounce capacity is quite generous, comfortably holding a large cappuccino, a standard pour-over coffee, or a hearty serving of tea. It is significantly larger than a traditional 8-ounce espresso cup.
The Dawn combo features a palette of beige, white, and bronze with natural speckles throughout. The Dusk combo is distinguished by a striking, solid pink interior and lip, offering a more vibrant contrast.
