This porcelain set of six (6) cups, six (6) oval plates, six (6) teaspoons is ideal to serve snacks or desserts accompanied by tea or coffee. It makes a great gift for the hostesses and gourmands in your life. About Bone China Porcelain: -Bone China is a hybrid hard-paste porcelain containing bone ash. -Bone china is extremely hard, intensely white and will allow light to pass through it. Strength is provided by the fusion of body ingredients during firing. This unique pottery body is made from the following: 50% animal bone, 25% china clay, 25% china stone. First or biscuit firing 1200 C – 1300 C. Second or glost firing 1050 C – 1100 C. -Porcelaneous ware was first made in China, hence its common name china. -Calcined bone ash is used in the production of bone china and makes up about 50% by weight of the final body recipe. It is produced from animal bone, which is first processed to remove any adhering meat which is generally sold as pet food. The bone is then treated to remove glue, which is processed and upgraded for use in normal applications where glue is used, and also for the sizing of expensive paper. The raw bone which is left after the meat and glue have been extracted is then heated to about 1000 C at which temperature any residual organic material is burned off and the structure of the bone is changed to form suitable for the manufacture of bone china. The high temperature used also sterilizes the bone. Prior to use the bone is finely ground with water before inclusion in the bone china body and it is calcined bone which gives traditional English bone china its translucency and whiteness.

Elegant and classy set This is an absolutely beautiful set. It’s delicate and elegant, and it’s a classy addition to my new coffee station. Unfortunately one of the spoons slipped unnoticed into my sink disposal and when I turned it on for just a second, it broke. 🙁 So handle carefully! I’m upset with myself that I lost a pretty spoon from the collection, but it will make me extra vigilant from now on because I don’t want to ruin this lovely set. Fits in with practically every decor, too! Highly recommended.
Packaging was excellent preventing any breakage The cups were sent to me in Germany, and I was concerned about breakage for the long trip. Packaging was excellent preventing any breakage. They were also shipped and received on a timely basis. The cups aren’t quite as shiny as shown in the photos, but they are very nice, and exactly the size I was needing. The cups are elegant and compliment another set I purchased. Overall experience with Jusalpha has been very positive.
I like the look and feel of the cup I like the look and feel of the cup, the colour is excellent, gives a wonderful sense of luxury. For tea drinkers this is an ideal cup. I am an expresso intensity coffee drinker, two cups per day. For me and it is not the fault of the product, l like my coffee very hot, the wide mouth of the cup allows rapid heat loss, and because the cup is not able to be used in the microwave, then the resulting heat loss cannot be off set by a 10 second burst after the expresso machine. The combined look…
