Know before you buy
No, this set is not microwave safe. The presence of hand-applied gold accents means it should never be placed in a microwave to avoid damaging the finish.
While the porcelain is durable, we strongly recommend hand washing this set. Dishwasher detergents and high heat cycles can wear down the delicate gold detailing over time.
The cup is designed for generous servings, making it ideal for a large morning tea or a café au lait. Its dimensions are 65 mm in height and 158 mm in length, providing a substantial feel in the hand.
Vista Alegre porcelain is known for its superior clarity and balance, offering a light feel without sacrificing strength. It is heirloom-quality and perfectly suitable for daily rituals, provided you handle it with the care required for fine gold-accented dinnerware.
While the Cozinha Velha collection leans into Traditional, French Cottage, and Gustavian aesthetics, its clean lines and classic blue-and-white palette make it versatile. It serves as a sophisticated accent piece that can add character to a more minimalist or modern dining space.
