Know before you buy
No, this set is not microwave safe. The hand-painted matte gold embellishments contain metallic elements that will spark and damage the piece if exposed to microwave radiation.
To preserve the hand-painted gold finish, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent. If you must use a dishwasher, select a short cycle at a low temperature, though frequent machine washing is discouraged.
The set measures 54 mm in height and 116 mm in length. It is designed as a standard coffee service piece, perfect for espresso or small coffee servings.
The gold is hand-painted and high-quality, but it is a delicate decorative element. Following the recommended care instructions—specifically avoiding abrasive sponges and harsh dishwasher cycles—will help maintain its luster for years.
Yes, each unit includes both the porcelain coffee cup and its matching saucer, designed to complement the cobalt blue and gold aesthetic.
