Sapphire Porcelain Tea Cups and Saucers with Gold Trim, 7 oz
Sapphire Porcelain Tea Cups and Saucers with Gold Trim, 7 oz
Two fine porcelain tea cups and two saucers in a deep sapphire blue, with a gold trim on the rim, foot and handle. They arrive in a gift box.
Sapphire is a harder colour to get right than it looks. A thin porcelain body lets light through the glaze, so the blue reads deep at the base and lighter at the rim rather than flat all over — which is the difference between fine porcelain and a painted ceramic in the same colour.
Seven ounces is the tea size. It is smaller than a coffee mug on purpose: tea at this volume stays hot through the cup, and the wider mouth lets the leaf aroma off the surface instead of trapping it.
Two place settings rather than a full service makes this the set for a pair — an afternoon for two, or a gift that does not commit the recipient to a cupboard of matching pieces.
- Fine porcelain: thin enough to pass light through the glaze
- 7 oz cups: the tea size, not a coffee volume
- Gold trim: on rim, foot and handle
- Two settings: 2 cups and 2 saucers
- Gift boxed: ready to give as it arrives
- Hand wash: to protect the gold
