Tivoli Cup & Saucer Set of 4 - Belleek Living - 0766943076068

Reactive glaze is a type of ceramic finish where the glazes react with each other or with the firing process in the kiln. This creates unique, varied patterns, colors, and textures, making each piece distinctive and giving it an artisanal, handcrafted look.

Each cup in the Tivoli set has a capacity of 200ml, which is a standard size for many coffee, tea, and hot beverage servings.

Yes, the Tivoli Cup & Saucer Set is designed as 'oven to tableware' and is safe for use in conventional ovens. This makes them perfect for baking individual portions of desserts like crumbles or custards.

The Tivoli Cup & Saucer Set is typically sold as a set of four. For individual replacements, please contact Belleek Living customer service or your retailer. Info needed: [Confirm if individual pieces are sold separately].

The set is dishwasher safe, offering convenient cleaning. For handwashing, use warm water with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Always ensure thorough rinsing and drying to maintain their appearance.

As stoneware, the Tivoli set will feel more substantial and robust than thinner ceramic or porcelain options. This contributes to its durability and stable feel on the table.

This is a normal and intended characteristic of the reactive glaze process. The flowing blue-grey tones and mottled effects are designed to make each piece unique and artisanal. No two pieces will be exactly the same, which adds to their charm.

For light stains, a normal wash cycle should suffice. For persistent stains, create a paste with baking soda and a little water, apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub gently and rinse. Alternatively, soak the cup in a mixture of warm water and a small amount of white vinegar or a mild bleach solution (ensure thorough rinsing).

Stoneware, while robust, can chip or break if subjected to sudden impacts or falls. Always handle your set with care, especially when loading/unloading the dishwasher or stacking. Avoid hard knocks against other dishes or hard surfaces.

This could be due to thermal shock. While the set is oven and microwave safe, avoid extreme or sudden temperature changes. For example, do not place a very hot item directly into cold water or a very cold item into a very hot oven. Allow items to cool or warm gradually.
