I adore the shape of the cup and the saucer is an added bonus. The thinness of the item is slighter than previous combi's purchased. But that said this item is much less so it is reflective in what you pay for. Care would need to be taken in washing to avoid breakages. But if washed seperately, rather than dumped in a bowl of water with other items then you should be fine.
Since I have had it, it has been so nice, two tasty cups of tea with my breakfast instead of one chunky mug. I now have a touch of refinement in my life. Proper job.
