Product Information
Full details
This set of four POLSPOTTEN Espresso Cups with matching saucers is designed for the discerning individual who appreciates unique, artistic tableware for their coffee rituals. The key benefit is the striking combination of optical illusion and offbeat elegance, elevating everyday coffee breaks into stylish moments. A potential caveat is the delicate nature of the metallic accents and the recommendation for handwashing, which requires careful attention. The set features porcelain cups with geometric patterns, metallic accent rims and handles, and a mirrored finish on the cups for a playful visual effect, all contributing to a joyously eccentric elegance.

Troubleshooting
Cups/saucers arrived with minor imperfections.
Due to the handmade nature and unique finishing of these items, minor variations in the metallic finish or pattern are to be expected and are part of their unique charm. If significant damage is present, please contact customer support.
Metallic rim/handle discolored or dulled.
This is likely due to harsh cleaning agents or prolonged exposure to moisture. Gently clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Always dry immediately after washing.
Mirrored surface appears smudged.
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe away smudges. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth followed by buffing with a dry microfiber cloth should suffice.
