Know before you buy
No, this set is not microwave safe. The presence of gold detailing means it should never be placed in a microwave.
While hand washing is recommended to preserve the hand-painted finish, you can use the dishwasher on short cycles at low temperatures. We advise against frequent dishwasher use to maintain the integrity of the gold decoration.
The gold is applied with high-quality craftsmanship, but like all fine porcelain with metallic detailing, it requires gentle care. Avoiding abrasive sponges and harsh detergents will help keep the matte gold finish looking pristine over time.
No, the hand-painted nature of the Brest collection means there may be slight variations in the detailing. This unique craftsmanship is a hallmark of Vista Alegre and ensures that each piece has its own individual character.
The set stands 67 mm high with a total length of 149 mm. It is designed to be a standard, elegant size suitable for traditional tea service.
