Tea just can't help feeling more refined when it's sipped from our elegant cups and saucers. Fine bone china with timeless Oriental or Arabesque patterns appears delicate and translucent but offers excellent durability. Modern or classic shapes in earthenware, stoneware, glass or porcelain complement both contemporary and traditional kitchens. Look for decoration that's understated or eye-catching, with cheeky motifs, personal messages or gilded detailing. A hand-decorated set in a presentation box makes a thoughtful gift.
