Know before you buy
No, these cups are not microwave safe. Due to the intricate gold detailing, they should be kept out of the microwave to prevent damage to the metallic finish.
To preserve the hand-painted gold detailing and the quality of the porcelain, we recommend hand-washing these pieces with a gentle detergent. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals.
Each cup has a capacity of 3 1/3 ounces, making them perfectly sized for a standard espresso or a concentrated coffee serving.
Because each piece is hand-painted using the traditional 'pointillé d’or' technique, there may be slight variations in the gold dot patterns. This artisanal process ensures that every cup and saucer is unique.
