No, this cup is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate nature of the fine porcelain, we recommend hand-washing it gently to maintain its finish and structural integrity.
No, this cup is designed without a handle, following the traditional aesthetic of Japanese-style tea service. The size is intended to be held comfortably in the palm of your hand, allowing you to feel the warmth of the tea.
This product is sold as a single cup. It is designed to complement the Mariage Frères Gyokuro teapot, making it an excellent choice if you are looking to build a custom tea service piece by piece.
