Troubleshooting

Stubborn tea stains inside the cup

Gold trim appears dull

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this set is crafted from fine china with gold accents, proper care is essential. Setup is straightforward: simply rinse the pieces with warm, soapy water before the first use. For ongoing maintenance, hand washing with a gentle, non-abrasive detergent is mandatory to prevent the gold banding from fading and to protect the glaze. Avoid using harsh scrubbers or scouring pads. While the pieces are compatible with standard tea saucers and spoons, do not place them in the dishwasher or microwave, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the delicate patterns and metallic trim.
