These elegant cups and saucers are decorated with Lotty’s Palms design in deep azure blue, which was inspired by the palm trees which feature prominently along the coastline and roads on Mustique. The saucers represent the coconuts that fall from the trees and the blue waters that surround our island home. This sophisticated pattern of crossed palms brings a taste of the exotic tropics to your table and matching teapots and jugs are available within the collection. Sold as a set of 2. 100% Fine Bone China, made in England. Cleaning / Dishwashing. To preserve the appearance of your fine bone china tableware we make the following recommendations for washing: Wash before using for the first time. Use plastic or rubber scrapers to remove leftover food from plates before washing. Use a recognised de-stainer to remove stubborn marks. Do not use scouring pads. Do not mix cutlery and ceramics together when cleaning. Set the dishwasher temperature for wash and rinse cycles at a maximum of 65ᵒc and follow the manufacturer’s guide for detergent dosage. Thermal Shock Sudden extremes of temperature should be avoided, such as taking an item from the cold fridge and placing it in a hot oven. Storage/Handling With correct handling, your china will look smart after many years of service. Ensure that adequate storage space is provided, using appropriate racks where possible. Avoid sliding plates over one another, as this may scratch the glazed surface. To reduce metal marking, avoid contact with soft metals such as poor quality cutlery, stacking with metal ancillary items or abrasion with metal countertops.
