Know before you buy
Yes, as it is crafted from high-quality bone china, it is designed to withstand hot beverages like tea or coffee. However, avoid extreme temperature shocks, such as pouring boiling water directly into a very cold cup.
No, this vintage piece must be hand washed only. The delicate nature of the bone china and the intricate '1118 Poppies' pattern can be damaged or faded by the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher.
This set is an original vintage piece and is listed in good condition. As with any pre-loved item, you may notice minor signs of age, which only add to its authentic character and charm.
Bone china is known for its durability, but to keep the vibrant colors of the poppies pattern intact, it is best to avoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh cleaning agents. Gentle hand washing will help preserve the design for years to come.
While it is certainly beautiful enough to display, it is fully functional and designed for regular use. It is a wonderful way to elevate your daily tea ritual, provided you handle it with the care required for fine bone china.
