About Our Ceramic Tea Sets
What is included in a ceramic tea set?
The contents vary by product. Depending on the design, a tea set may include:
- Teapot

- Tea tray
- Tea strainer
- Serving pitcher
- Lid
- Other matching accessories
Please refer to the individual product page for the exact package contents.

Please follow the care instructions provided for each product.
Can I purchase individual cups or teapots separately?
Availability depends on the collection and product. Some items may be sold individually, while others are only available as complete sets.
Please check the relevant product page for current options.
Natural Variations in Ceramic Products
Will every ceramic piece look exactly the same?
Not always. Ceramic products may naturally show slight differences in:
- Glaze tone
- Color
- Texture
- Speckling
- Shape
- Pattern placement
- Dimensions
These small variations are part of the natural character of ceramic production and do not necessarily indicate a defect.
Why does the glaze look slightly different from the product photos?
Product appearance may vary slightly because of lighting conditions, screen settings, glaze characteristics, production batches, and hand-finishing processes.
We make every effort to represent product colors and details accurately.
Are small spots or variations in the glaze normal?
Minor glaze marks, color variation, speckling, or handmade characteristics may occur during ceramic production.
These natural characteristics generally do not affect normal use.
Size and Serving Capacity
How much tea does the teapot hold?
Capacity varies by product. Please refer to the individual product page for the specific volume and dimensions.
How large are the tea cups?
Cup size varies by collection and design. Some cups are designed for smaller traditional tea servings, while others have larger capacities for everyday use.
Please check the dimensions before purchasing.
Is the tea set suitable for serving multiple people?
This depends on the number of cups included and the capacity of the teapot. Please review the package contents and product specifications to choose the most suitable set.
Using Ceramic Teaware Safely
Can I pour boiling water into the ceramic teapot?
Most ceramic teaware is designed for hot beverages, but temperature resistance varies by product.
To reduce the risk of thermal shock, avoid exposing ceramic products to sudden extreme temperature changes. Please follow the specific care instructions for your product.
What is thermal shock?
Thermal shock occurs when ceramic experiences a rapid temperature change. For example, placing a very cold ceramic piece directly into extremely hot water may increase the risk of cracking.
Allow ceramic products to adjust gradually between temperature changes.
Does the handle become hot?
Handles and lids may become warm or hot during use. Always handle hot teaware carefully and use appropriate protection where necessary.
Appliance Compatibility
Are the tea sets dishwasher-safe?
Dishwasher suitability varies by product. Some ceramic products may be dishwasher-safe, while decorative finishes, hand-painted details, metallic accents, or delicate components may require hand washing.
Please refer to the specific product care instructions.
Can I put ceramic tea sets in the microwave?
Microwave suitability depends on the product. Do not microwave products with metallic decoration, gold or silver detailing, or other microwave-incompatible components.
Please check the individual product page before microwave use.
Can I put the teapot directly on a stovetop?
Unless specifically stated otherwise, ceramic teapots should not be placed directly on:
- Gas burners
- Electric stovetops
- Induction cooktops
- Open flames
Use a kettle or other suitable appliance to heat water separately.
How to Care for Your Teaware
How should I clean ceramic teaware?
For regular cleaning, we recommend warm water, mild detergent, and a soft sponge or cloth.
Avoid metal brushes, abrasive scrubbers, strong acidic cleaners, strong alkaline cleaners, and highly corrosive chemicals, as these may damage the glaze or decorative finish.
How do I remove tea stains?
Tea stains can often be reduced by soaking the item in warm water and gently cleaning it with a soft sponge and mild detergent.
Avoid aggressive scrubbing that could damage the ceramic surface.
Should I dry the tea set after washing?
Yes. Allowing ceramic teaware to dry thoroughly before storage can help keep it clean and ready for the next use.
Accessories and Replacement Parts
Does the teapot include a tea strainer?
Some products include a built-in or removable tea strainer, while others do not. Please check the product description for exact details.
How should I clean the tea strainer?
Rinse the strainer after use and remove remaining tea leaves. For removable strainers, wash with warm water and mild detergent where appropriate.
Are replacement accessories available?
Replacement accessory availability depends on the product and current inventory. Please contact Customer Care for assistance.
Safe Use of Ceramic Teaware
What should I do if my ceramic teaware becomes cracked?
Discontinue use if a product develops significant cracks, sharp chips, broken edges, or structural damage.
Damaged ceramic products may no longer be suitable for safe beverage use.
Can children use ceramic tea sets?
Ceramic products can break if dropped. Children should use ceramic teaware only with appropriate adult supervision.
Should I inspect the tea set before use?
Yes. We recommend checking the product before each use, especially after accidental impact or dropping.
Order Changes and Address Updates
Can I change or cancel my order?
If you need to change or cancel an order, please contact our Customer Care team as soon as possible.
Once an order has entered processing or has been shipped, we may no longer be able to modify or cancel it.
I entered the wrong shipping address. What should I do?
Please contact us as soon as possible with your order number and the correct shipping address.
Once the order has been processed or dispatched, we cannot guarantee that the address can be changed. Customers are responsible for providing accurate shipping information at checkout.
Delivery and Tracking
How long does delivery take?
Delivery times vary depending on destination, shipping method, and order processing. Please refer to our Shipping Policy for estimated processing and delivery times.
How can I track my order?
When tracking is available, tracking information will be provided after your order has been dispatched. Please allow some time for the carrier's tracking system to update.
Why has my shipment been delayed?
Delivery may occasionally be affected by carrier delays, weather conditions, holidays, customs processing, or local delivery disruptions.
If your tracking information has not updated for an extended period, please contact Customer Care.
Packaging and Gift Presentation
How are ceramic tea sets packaged?
Because ceramic products are fragile, we use protective packaging appropriate to the product and shipment. Packaging methods may vary depending on the size, shape, and number of ceramic pieces.
Is the packaging suitable for gifting?
Some products may include presentation or gift-style packaging. Please refer to the individual product page to confirm whether gift packaging is included.
Can the outer box look different from the product photos?
Packaging may occasionally be updated due to production, logistics, or availability. The protective packaging you receive may therefore differ slightly from images shown online.
What to Do if Something Arrives Damaged
What if my ceramic tea set arrives broken?
Please inspect your order shortly after delivery. If any item arrives cracked, broken, chipped, or significantly damaged, contact us and provide:
- Your order number
- Photos of the damaged item
- Photos showing the packaging
- A brief description of the issue
Because ceramic products are fragile, keeping the original packaging until the issue is reviewed may help us evaluate the situation.
What if only one piece in the set is damaged?
Please photograph the damaged piece as well as the complete set and packaging. Our Customer Care team will review the information and provide an appropriate solution according to our store policies.
What if I receive the wrong tea set?
Please contact us with your order number and clear photos of the item received. Once verified, we will assist you with the next steps.

How long does a refund take?
Once an eligible return has been received and inspected, approved refunds will generally be issued to the original payment method.
