Gorgeous Tea Service Set - Spoons Lower Quality
This 13-piece tea set is beautiful and functional, elevating your daily tea service to something special for any occasion.The blue floral pattern is classic and appears hand painted, and the gold accents are stunning and luxurious. The classic shape of the cups, saucers, and teapot are enhanced by a subtle scalloped pattern. The thickness and weight are just right - not too thin or light, but not heavy. The teapot has a built-in strainer, and the lid has notches that prevent it from coming out while tilting to pour. These details are essential and demonstrate the thought that went into the design.It comes with a set of gold tone tea spoons, but these are not the same quality as the service set itself. The shape of the spoons is flat and wide, not like traditional demitasse spoons. The construction of the spoons is also lower quality. When viewing the spoon from the side, you can see that it's two sheets of metal fused together. I don't know what metal these are made of, but I would not personally use them in hot liquid.The set arrives perfectly nested in secure packaging that you can use for long-term storage if you want to rotate use of your tea sets.It's a lovely set for any tea enthusiast, and would also make a wonderful gift.
