Know before you buy
The cup measures 3.75 inches in diameter and 2.25 inches in height, while the matching saucer has a diameter of 6 inches.
Because the Volupte collection is discontinued, finding exact replacements can be challenging. We recommend treating this set as a special-occasion piece to preserve its longevity.
While Gien porcelain is known for its durability, the delicate nature of fine china makes it best suited for formal tea services or curated table settings rather than heavy, everyday use.
To maintain the finish and integrity of the porcelain, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or high-heat dishwasher cycles, which can damage the glaze over time.
Yes, the saucer is engineered with a stable base and a recessed center specifically designed to hold the cup securely in place, minimizing the risk of sliding during service.
