Pure relaxation – leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind you! What better way to do that than with a nice cup of freshly brewed tea? Whether at the prepared table with family and friends, or alone on the sofa with a good book: when you use a high-quality teacup made of fine porcelain from FÜRSTENBERG, your tea ceremony becomes a true pleasure.
Why are teacups traditionally flatter and wider in shape than other cups? Drinking from a wide teacup with the thinnest possible rim allows the tea to develop its full flavour. This is because the bellied shape creates more surface area on which the aromatic substances can rise to the top. Porcelain teacups were imported from China along with tea by European traders as long ago as the 18th century. However, the handles on the cups are a European invention, which was later adopted to some extent by the Chinese.
Porcelain teacups from FÜRSTENBERG
Porcelain has a distinct advantage for teacups as it does not take on the taste and is easy to clean. Which means you can enjoy the unadulterated pleasure of various teas. Teacups from FÜRSTENBERG are available in different sizes – from 0.13 l to 0.25 l capacity. In addition to porcelain cups, you’ll find various other items for your individual tea tableware depending on the collection: matching saucers, teapots (some with porcelain strainer), pot warmers, dessert plates, sugar bowls, milk jugs and small trays for serving.
For centuries, porcelain teacups have been especially elegant vessels providing exclusive moments of enjoyment. The light shines through the thin porcelain body – a feature of exceptional craftsmanship. Such premium quality teacups are available from FÜRSTENBERG in many different designs, plain or decorated.
If you want to revive the charm of an aristocratic afternoon tea, the teacups of the ALT FÜRSTENBERG and HERZOG FERDINAND series are the right choice.
