Small Cup with Saucer 90 ml

Platinum lustre rim — not for the microwave

DKK 165incl. 25% moms

A small cup on a matching saucer, with a hand-applied platinum lustre line at the rim. The lustre is a real metal film, which is why this cup can never go in a microwave. Both cup and saucer are food contact articles and both are covered by the same Declaration of Compliance.

Measured

Taken from the current production batch. Hand-finished, so individual pieces vary by up to ±5%.

Cooling: 95 °C down to 55 °C in ten minutes

40 degrees over ten minutes. Ceramic has no vacuum layer. A thicker wall cools more slowly than a thin one, and that is the whole of the effect — none of these cups keep a drink hot the way a vacuum flask does.

Measured with 95 °C water in a 20 °C room, uncovered and undisturbed, temperature read at the centre of the liquid after 10 minutes.

How to use it

Microwave: Not suitable.This cup carries a metallic lustre decoration. It must never go in a microwave: metallic decoration arcs and will damage both the cup and the oven.
Dishwasher: Hand wash. A dishwasher will dull this finish over time.
Temperature: Avoid sudden temperature changes. Do not pour boiling water into a cold cup straight from the fridge, and do not move a hot cup into cold water — ceramic can crack from thermal shock.
Variation: Each cup is finished by hand, so dimensions vary by up to ±5% and no two glazes are identical. Variation in colour, glaze pooling and small surface pinholes are characteristics of the process, not faults.

How and where it is made

Forming: Cast in a mould, then trimmed, handled and glazed by hand
Designed in: Denmark
Made in: Portugal
Packing: Cups travel in single-cup cushioned boxes. If something arrives broken, photograph the box and the pieces and tell us within 14 days of delivery — we replace or refund, and we pay the return postage.

Never put this cup in a microwave

Not sure this is the one?

Cup Match asks three questions and filters on the measurements rather than on taste. It will tell you which cups have a wall of 8 mm or more, which have a handle opening of 32 mm or more, and which have no handle at all.
