Troubleshooting
Mirrored surface appears smudged or dull.
Hand wash with a soft cloth and mild detergent, then dry immediately with a clean, lint-free cloth to restore shine.
Pattern on saucer seems faded.
Ensure you are not using abrasive cleaning materials. If fading is significant, it may be due to prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or cleaning agents; hand washing with care is crucial for pattern longevity.
Cup feels unstable on the saucer.
Ensure the cup is placed centrally on the saucer. The design is intended to create an illusion; confirm there are no manufacturing defects by checking for flatness on both surfaces.
