FAQs

Are these cups truly dishwasher safe?

Yes, the product is designed to be dishwasher safe. However, for the longevity and preservation of the hand-gilded 24-carat gold accents, hand washing with a mild detergent is highly recommended.

What is Limoges porcelain?

Limoges porcelain is a fine ceramic produced in Limoges, France, renowned for its quality, whiteness, and durability. It is a hallmark of high-quality porcelain ware.

How should I clean the 24-carat gold details?

For best results, hand wash gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the gold leafing.

What does 'hand-gilded' mean?

'Hand-gilded' means that the 24-carat gold application has been done by hand by artisans, ensuring precision and a unique decorative finish on each piece.

Is this set suitable for everyday use?

While durable enough for regular use, the fine materials and hand-applied gold accents suggest it is best suited for special occasions or elevated daily rituals to maintain its pristine condition.

What are the dimensions of the cups and saucers?

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product information, but they are designed as standard espresso cups and saucers.

Does the set come with a warranty?

Warranty information is not detailed in the provided product description. It is recommended to check with the retailer or L'Objet directly for warranty specifics.

Troubleshooting

Gold accents appear dull or tarnished

Gently clean with a soft cloth and a very small amount of non-abrasive metal polish specifically designed for gold. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners.

Water spots on porcelain after washing

Ensure cups and saucers are dried immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth after washing. If spots persist, a gentle wipe with a soft cloth dampened with distilled water may help.

Chip or crack in porcelain

Due to the delicate nature of fine porcelain, inspect carefully. Minor chips may be acceptable for display, but significant damage means the item should no longer be used for food or beverages.

Care Instructions:
