FAQs

Are the Verde Lanza cups sold individually?

The Serax Verde Lanza Cups are typically sold in sets of two. Please check the specific product listing for details on available quantities.

Can I put these cups in the oven?

Yes, the cups are oven-safe. They are suitable for keeping beverages or small food items warm at moderate temperatures. Avoid preheating the oven with the cups inside or exposing them to sudden extreme temperature shifts.

What is the material of the cups?

The cups are made from high-quality stoneware, finished by hand.

How do I clean the textured surface?

While dishwasher safe, for best results and to preserve the hand-finished texture, handwashing with a soft sponge and mild soap is recommended. A gentle scrub can be used on the textured areas.

Where does the inspiration for the Verde Lanza collection come from?

The collection is inspired by the volcanic island of Lanzarote, particularly the greens found on wooden windows and doors against the unique landscape.

Do the cups come with saucers?

Saucers are part of the Verde Lanza collection but are typically sold separately from the cups.

What is the capacity of each cup?

Each cup has a capacity of 230 ml.

Troubleshooting

Uneven glaze or color variations

This is a characteristic of the handcrafted nature of the Verde Lanza collection and not a defect. Each piece is unique.

Chips or cracks after use

Inspect the cup for damage. While durable, stoneware can chip if dropped or subjected to significant impact. Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes.

Discoloration from certain foods/drinks

While the glaze is durable, very acidic foods or strong pigments (like in turmeric or coffee) might cause temporary discoloration. Gentle scrubbing with a baking soda paste usually resolves this. Ensure thorough rinsing.

Care Instructions:

  • Handwashing (Recommended for longevity): While dishwasher safe, handwashing with a soft sponge and mild detergent will help preserve the glaze and textured finish for longer.
  • Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can scratch the stoneware and damage the glaze.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and rinsed off.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place. Avoid stacking directly if possible, or use protective pads between cups to prevent scratches on the textured surface.
