Product Information

Full details

This Seletti Meltdown Teacup, Saucer and Spoon Set is designed for those who appreciate unique, artful tableware and enjoy a touch of playful rebellion with their tea time. Its key benefit is transforming a simple tea ritual into a conversation piece, blending historical British tea culture with the energy of 90s rave culture. A minor caveat is that the delicate design and gold edging require careful handling and specific cleaning methods. This set includes two porcelain cups, two saucers, and two porcelain teaspoons, all featuring a beautifully misshapen, asymmetric silhouette accented with traditional gold edging.

FAQs

What material is the Seletti Meltdown set made from?

The teacups, saucers, and spoons are made from high-quality white porcelain.

Can I put this set in the dishwasher?

No, due to the gold edging, it is not recommended to put this set in a dishwasher. Hand-washing is advised.

Is the set microwave-safe?

No, the presence of gold trim makes the set unsafe for microwave use.

What does the 'Meltdown' design represent?

The design is inspired by a fusion of traditional British tea culture and the energetic spirit of 1990s UK rave culture, resulting in a 'melted' or misshapen aesthetic.

How many pieces are included in this set?

This set includes two porcelain teacups, two matching saucers, and two porcelain teaspoons.

Are the slight shape variations normal?

Yes, the asymmetric and 'misshapen' silhouettes are intentional artistic features of the Meltdown series.

What is the best way to clean the gold trim?

Gently hand-wash with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch or remove the gold.

Troubleshooting

Gold trim appears to be fading or chipping.

This is likely due to abrasive cleaning or use in a dishwasher/microwave. Ensure you are only hand-washing with a soft cloth and mild soap, and never place in a microwave.

Unevenness or slight imperfections in shape.

These are intentional design features of the 'Meltdown' series, representing the 'melted' aesthetic. Each piece is uniquely shaped by the artistic design.

Tea stains are visible inside the cup.

For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, gently apply to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid using harsh scrubbing tools.

Cons

  • The delicate 'meltdown' design and gold edging require careful hand-washing.
  • Not suitable for microwave use due to the gold trim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This set requires no assembly and is ready for use upon unboxing. It is designed for traditional tea or coffee service. Due to the presence of gold edging and the delicate nature of the 'meltdown' design, these pieces are not suitable for microwave use. For cleaning, it is strongly recommended to hand-wash each item with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the porcelain glaze and the gold trim. Allow the pieces to air dry or gently pat them dry with a soft cloth to maintain their pristine condition. Store the set carefully to prevent chipping or scratching.
