FAQs

Can I put these mugs in the dishwasher?

No, these mugs are not dishwasher safe because the high heat and detergent will damage the 22-carat gold accents.

Are these mugs safe for the microwave?

No, the mugs contain gold accents which are metallic and will cause sparking in the microwave.

What material are the mugs made of?

They are crafted from premium fine bone china, known for its translucency and strength.

Does this set include all designs from 1900 to 1940?

This set features five distinct designs representing key prints from the company's archives spanning the 1900-1940 era.

Are these mugs larger than regular teacups?

Yes, these mugs are specifically designed with a larger capacity, making them more versatile for coffee and tea compared to traditional small teacups.

How should I store them to avoid damage?

Store them in a safe, dry place, ideally using felt dividers if stacking to prevent scratches on the gold rims.

Troubleshooting

Gold trim appears dull or tarnished

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and ensure it is dried immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or metal polishes.

Stains from coffee or tea on the interior

Use a mixture of baking soda and water to form a gentle paste, apply with a soft cloth, and rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Royal Albert mug set in pristine condition, proper care is essential:

  1. Washing: Always hand wash these mugs using mild liquid detergent and a soft cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive scrubbers as they will scratch the delicate gold trim.
  2. Avoid Dishwashers: Dishwasher cycles use high heat and harsh detergents that will cause the 22-carat gold accents to fade or wear away prematurely.
  3. Microwave Restrictions: These mugs are strictly NOT microwave safe. The metallic gold content can cause sparking, posing a safety risk and damaging the finish.
  4. Storage: Stack these mugs carefully, preferably with protective liners between them, to prevent the gold rims from rubbing against one another.
