Know before you buy
Each cup has a capacity of 180ml (6oz), which is a standard size for a single serving of tea.
Yes, the cups are both microwave and dishwasher safe. However, avoid overheating the cups when they are empty and refrain from using abrasive cleansers that could scratch the porcelain surface.
The white cups are crafted from porcelain that naturally features a subtle blue tint characteristic of the Hasami region. The earth grey version uses clay containing iron powders, which creates a unique, speckled texture and a warmer, more organic appearance.
It is possible for metal utensils to leave faint marks on the surface of the porcelain. If this happens, these marks can typically be removed using a mild, non-abrasive cleanser.
Each set includes six porcelain cups, making them well-suited for hosting small gatherings or stocking your kitchen cabinet.
