Know before you buy
Yes, the cup is food-safe and designed for daily use. It is crafted from white earthenware with lead-free glazes, making it perfectly suitable for coffee, tea, or other hot drinks.
No, this cup is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. To preserve the integrity of the handmade earthenware and the original pencil drawings, please hand wash it in warm, soapy water.
The Bistro Cup holds 7 ounces, making it an ideal size for a standard serving of coffee, juice, or a small glass of wine.
Because each piece is individually handmade in Vermont, slight variations in size and surface finish are expected. These nuances are a hallmark of the artisanal process and make each cup a unique work of art.
The designs are based on Laura Zindel's original pencil drawings and are protected by a lead-free glaze. While the artwork is durable for regular use, hand washing is required to ensure the finish remains pristine over time.
