Know before you buy
Yes, each Canton Cup features the iconic fish scale motif meticulously applied by hand by Herend artisans in Hungary.
This cup has a 6-ounce capacity, making it well-suited for a standard serving of tea or a small coffee.
Due to the delicate nature of fine hand-painted porcelain, we recommend hand washing to preserve the finish and detail. It is not recommended for microwave use.
At 2 inches high and 3.5 inches in diameter, this cup is smaller and more refined than a standard everyday coffee mug, reflecting its design as a traditional tea or espresso cup.
This listing is for the Canton Cup only. Saucers are typically sold separately or as part of a complete tea set.
