I received these as a review sample and while they are perfect for holiday use, the design is also suited to every day.
These are not lightweight cups and saucers. They appear to be made of thick porcelain with vivid glazed on colors. One thing I notices is they have excellent heat retention properties because my coffee and tea seemed to stay hotter longer.
Artistically the saucers have the swirls, with just a hint on the cup handles. The rims of the cups and saucers appear to have a platinum colored ring. I am not sure of the actual metal used, but they spark in a microwave, so are not microwavable.
Physically the cups are about 3 and 1/4 inches across the flared mouth and 2 inches at the base. They stand 2 3/4 inches tall and hold 8 ounces when filled to the brim. The causers are six inches in diameter.
Overall these are very high quality cups and saucers that are suitable for tea or coffee. While the design has a holiday vibe they are a nice splash of color for any time of the year. Especially if you like red. I will be using these as my primary set for guests, and have set aside one cup/saucer for my personal everyday use because I love the way they retain heat and keep my beverage hot.
