Take-away clay tea cup

Additional Information

Most of our tableware products are sourced in India. Samples of products have been subjected to laboratory testing for leaching of heavy metals into the contents of the cups. Results of these tests are available upon demand but all samples have passed these EU regulatory tests and can be deemed to be suitable ‘For Food Use’. We try, where possible, to source our supplies from small independent and family run businesses.

Some of our tableware products are unglazed earthenware and need to be ‘seasoned’ if you wish to re-use them. Otherwise they are disposable, you cannot use them again for food or drink as the porous earthenware can retain some of the previous product but you can re-use them as flowerpots, paintpots, trinket pots etc. Our glazed cups are re-useable without any preparation. They are not frostproof.

Please be aware that the products we supply are natural products made from 100% clay and as a result after firing they can be subject to slight distortion and twisting and also display small firecracks.

Also, please note that as these are made by small rural potteries where quality control is something never heard of, there may be some small imperfections in the cups such as small chips and cracks etc. We try hard to send out only the best we have to offer but you have to be realistic as to the quality they can provide.
