ANTICO DERUTA LITE: Dinner Plate (Simple Decor – SIM) [11 D.] [#001/S-ANT]

Image
Beautiful Form and function at its highest expression of espresso drinking. Got it for my wife for her birthday, and she melted – loves it. These are all hand-painted in Italy, so there are the telltale variations, thus no two are exactly the same. The people in this tiny town in Italy have been doing majellica for hundreds of years, they know what they’re doing. The vendor was excellent – it arrived from Italy quickly and in perfect condition. Comes with a catalog showing the full range of products – if you furnished your kitchen and house with this stuff (they have tables costing $5,000) you’d probably think you were hallucinating, but this little item is perfect.

Churchill China Royal Chelsea Blue Willow Tea Cups and Saucers, Set of 4

Image
Blue and White: Romantically Classic Since I like to collect teacups and saucers, including Churchill, quite some time ago, I jumped at this affordable set of four Blue Willow. The `true love legend’ back-story is sweet and the pattern evokes fond memories, since it has been around for so very long. Sitting down to a nice little cup of herbal tea or hot chocolate is made all the more delightful with this set. They have stood up perfectly to daily microwave and dishwasher use. This set was made in England which is a HUGE plus, since I have found that the quality is fully there when coming from England as opposed to a couple of other countries that some of the Churchill ware is sometimes manufactured in. As I have done with a number of Churchill and other teacups, I shared with a couple of teacup-loving friends who were thoroughly pleased at the little gift. Beautiful Blue Willow Cups and Saucers! I originally bought the 4-place setting set and was so happy with it that I decided to b...

WMF Kult Espresso Cup and Saucer

Image
The right fit After a long search I found the perfect expresso cup. Perfect in its handling, has a great design, besides its great workmanship. With WMF products its difficult being disappointed. Overpriced! I like the style and overall of the set, but the saucer’s edge is curved down. So if you spill your coffee it will end up on your lap. Ein wundervoller Satz The upper-class WMF Kult Espresso Cup and Saucer from Germany is absolutely wonderful. Craftsmanship is solid and heat does not transfer through the artsy cup handle. A highly recommended purchase. Click to Editorial Reviews

WMF Kult Cappuccino Cup and Saucer

Image
Good but not great. I bought two cup and saucer sets. The sets are attractive and the cups look great on top of my espresso machine, but I find the saucers problematic: - If any liquid spills from the cups the large flat rims of the saucers do little to contain the spill and it’s a mess. - What liquid stays on the saucer creates a vacuum that sucks the cup tight to the central recess and when that bond breaks it’s a mess. - The saucers are difficult to pick up from a flat surface with one hand because of the dropped flange of the rim. - Despite being stainless steel the saucers scratch easily and are hard to keep looking clean. - The saucer’s large diameter prevents two from sitting side-by-side on my espresso machine (if stacked the cups don’t warm up as well). I really enjoy the cups. I wish the saucers matched their quality and functionality. Alternative to Glass Well designed, a size that allows a good dose of steamed milk, this cup and saucer makes an appetizing contemporary pr...

Royal White 8 oz. Sophia Teacup and Saucer [Set of 6]

Image
Charming and Sturdy Wanted teacups for a few informal family tea parties. I searched high and low for about a year, looking for a cross between “pretty pretty princess tea time” and “not so feminine that the menfolk refuse to drink from them” with just a dash of “affordable” mixed in, and this set matched all my criteria. I have used them twice and everyone seemed to like them. Sturdy. I imagine they’d crack if you dropped them on a hard floor just like any non-plastic dish, but I’m pretty sure a little rough handling won’t chip them like with delicate china. I had great customer service from this company. One of the saucers was broken when the set arrived and the company sent me a replacement saucer right away, no fuss or hassle. simple but amazing I love these teacups for their simple elegance and the fact that they are perfect for their upcoming makeovers. They are smooth and lack any blemishes. Click to Editorial Reviews

Royal Albert Rose Cameo Collectible Teas Teacup and Saucer, Green

Image
Royal Albert Rose Cameo Collectible Teacup, Green This teacup has a beautiful design, but I was very disappointed when I received it. The cup and saucer were much thicker than I would have expected for a china teacup! It also had a problem with the scalloped design for the foot of the cup as this caused the cup to rock as it sat on the saucer. I sent it back as I could not imagine trying to drink tea from this cup! Perfect I am always nervous when ordering something like this online. I worry that it won’t be as pictured. This cup is just as beautiful as shown. I was more than pleased when it arrived, and proud to give it as a gift. The company also did a nice job shipping it. Not only did arrive quickly, they packed it so that there was almost no way it would break in the process. Cup is exquisite and perfectly balanced in saucer I have this cup and am very satisfied with it. The design is elegant and lovely to say the least. I enjoy it very much. Click to Editorial Reviews

Portmeirion Botanic Garden Tea Cup and Saucer, Set of 6

Image
Shrunk in the Mail Portmeirion Botanic Garden Tea Cup and Saucer, Set of 6 They are considerably smaller than the set i purchased in England … i think maybe 6 ozs rather than 12 ozs. And obviously the saucers are smaller too. I kept the product but was greatly disappointed. The cup size should be printed, and in fact they cost more than the larger ones. The price was high in general, as i found them cheaper in a store near home. Internet shopping learning curve for me indeed. a new introduction, but the old was better Portmeirion introduces and discontinues items within a line, and has done so since they introduced Botanic Garden in 1972. Even the plates, which only have six flowers at any given time have had numerous flowers offered over the years. They have downsized the tureen. Fortunately, many discontinued items can still be found if one searches hard enough. This is a new “traditional” style tea cup in a 7oz. they are trying to come up with something more delicate than the tradi...

Big and Beautiful I love the size of these cups. Beautiful! And, they make me Happy:)Also, Amazon sent replacements with no hassle for two cups that were broken. Thank you!!!!! Great size for coffee Love the comfort and size of these cups. Great for a cup of coffee. nanbrit The breakfast cups and saucers are larger than the average tea-cup roughly twice the capacity which is perfect for a start of the day “cuppa” and much nicer than using mugs. A very good addition for anyone with other Portmeirion dishes. Click to Editorial Reviews

Royal Albert Collectible Teas Blue Damask Cup and Saucer

Image
Pretty but… The Royal Albert collectible tea cup and saucer are attractive and my daughters enjoy using them for our tea parties. But I felt the quality of the gold trim and the attention to detail wasn’t there. I guess you get what you pay for. Teacup Collectors come to Amazon! I have every color in this wonderful line of collectible teacups. It is great that Amazon makes it so easy to collect more fabulous teacups. THANKS Amazon! Kerri Bennett Williamson, Author Wonderful I love this cup and saucer set. I have purchased 6 cups and saucers over time. This is a beautiful set – absolutely lovely. Click to Editorial Reviews
