Know before you buy
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted gold and blue details, we recommend hand-washing with a soft cloth to preserve the finish.
No, this set is not microwave safe. The metallic accents used in the traditional 'fishing net' motif can cause damage to the piece or your appliance if heated.
The 'fishing net' motif is a prestigious design originating from the Tsarist era. This set is a faithful reissue of a historic 1750 tea service, intended to capture the imperial elegance of that period.
While it is designed for refined tea rituals and formal dining, it is fully functional as a tea set. However, because it is crafted from fine porcelain with hand-painted details, it requires careful handling compared to everyday stoneware.
No, the set consists exclusively of the mug and the matching saucer. It does not include an infuser, strainer, or lid.
