Product Information

Full details

This set of two Ginori 1735 Labirinto coffee cups is designed for discerning individuals who appreciate artisanal Italian porcelain and distinctive graphic patterns. The key benefit is the elevated coffee experience offered by these beautifully crafted cups, inspired by Gio Ponti's 1926 'Labirinto' motif. A potential caveat is that due to the metallic trims and delicate porcelain, they require careful handling and specific cleaning. This collection combines the 'Impero' shape's neoclassical elegance with a bold, maze-like design, rendered in high-quality white porcelain made in Italy.

Troubleshooting

This can occur with improper washing. Ensure you are hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or dishwashers.

Scratches on the porcelain surface

Handle with care and avoid stacking directly without protection. Use a soft cloth when drying and store them with care to prevent contact with sharp objects.
