Know before you buy
Due to the delicate hand-painted design and the 24k gold accents, it is recommended to hand wash this piece to preserve its finish and longevity.
No, this cup is not microwave safe. The hand-applied 24k gold accents contain metal, which can cause sparking and damage the porcelain if placed in a microwave.
This tea cup has a capacity of 8.0 ounces, making it an ideal size for a standard serving of tea.
Because each piece is hand-painted by Herend artisans, there may be very slight variations in the brushwork. This is a hallmark of authentic, hand-crafted porcelain rather than a defect.
This listing is for the tea cup only. You may need to purchase the coordinating saucer separately to complete the set.
