Know before you buy
No, this set is not microwave safe due to the genuine 24k gold trim, which can spark and damage the porcelain.
To preserve the hand-painted details and the gold accents, this set must be washed by hand. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can fade the pattern and wear down the gold.
This cup is designed specifically for demitasse service, which typically holds between 2 to 3 ounces. It is perfectly sized for a single or double shot of espresso.
Because each piece is meticulously hand-painted by Herend artisans, there may be slight variations in the bird motifs and color placement. This makes every cup and saucer a unique work of art.
Yes, the Rothschild Birds pattern is a classic Herend collection. You can continue to build your set over time with matching plates, teapots, and other serving pieces.
