After trying this product, I was impressed by the quality of the teacups. The delicate floral design on the ceramic cups makes them the perfect gift for mother-daughter birthdays, and the warming feature is a lovely touch. They are sturdy enough for everyday use, and make any afternoon tea time feel extra special. The only drawback is that they are more in the "decorative" category than practical for industrial and scientific applications. Overall, a lovely addition to any tabletop or serveware See full review
