Which ceramic cup size suits chai, and which suits coffee?

Start with how you drink. Where a listing states capacity, our cups run from 220 ml to 300 ml. A cup in the 220 to 240 ml range, such as the Sunny Bloom Ceramic Cup (220 ml) or the Evil Eye Ceramic Cup & Saucer (240 ml), suits a regular cup of chai. For a larger milky coffee, look at 300 ml pieces like the It's A Good Day Ceramic Mug. If a listing does not state capacity, check the product page before you order. Still deciding between the two forms? Our guide to ceramic cup vs mug for chai and coffee walks through it.

Mug, cup and saucer, lidded cup or peekaboo cup: which shape should you pick?

Ceramic mugs

The everyday choice. Most mugs come as a Single (₹349) or a Set of 2 (₹649), in bow, heart, flower and fruit motifs. The Cute Pink Bow Ceramic Mug holds 230 ml.

Cup and saucer sets

Cup and saucer sets start at ₹449 and most are ₹550. The saucer gives you a place to rest a spoon or a biscuit with your afternoon chai.

Cup with lid

The Shroomy Mushroom Ceramic Cup with Lid (₹399) holds 300 ml and comes with its lid, which makes it a neat desk-side cup.

Novelty peekaboo cups

The Peekaboo Panda Ceramic Cup and the Peekaboo Bear Cub Ceramic Cup are the playful pieces (₹399 each). Both are listed as hand-painted and not microwave safe, and the listings give a length of 16 cm and a height of 7 cm.

Can you put ceramic cups in the microwave or dishwasher?

It depends on the piece, so check the care line on each listing. Many listings say microwave safe and some also say dishwasher safe, but not all do. The Sculpted Daisy Faceted Ceramic Mug, the two Peekaboo cups and the Sculpted Bow Ceramic Mug are listed as not microwave safe. For every cup, we recommend hand-washing to keep painted finishes looking new.

What is a good ceramic coffee mug gift?

For a couple or a housewarming, a Set of 2 works well, and on most mugs it costs less than buying two Singles. For a tea lover, choose a cup and saucer set. For someone who likes something playful, a peekaboo cup or the lidded mushroom cup is an easy pick. You can also pair two different pieces, such as a cup and saucer set with a mug, for a gift that suits both a tea drinker and a coffee drinker. Shipping is free across India with no minimum, so even a single cup ships free.

What sizes do your ceramic cups come in?

Where a listing states capacity, our cups run from 220 ml to 300 ml.

If a listing does not state capacity, please check the product page.

Are your ceramic cups hand-glazed or hand-painted?

Many pieces are hand-glazed, hand-painted or both, but not every piece. Each product page states which finish applies to that cup.

Are the cups microwave safe and dishwasher safe?

It depends on the piece. Many listings say microwave safe and some also say dishwasher safe. The Sculpted Daisy Faceted Ceramic Mug, the Peekaboo Panda and Peekaboo Bear Cub cups and the Sculpted Bow Ceramic Mug are listed as not microwave safe. Check the care line on each listing, and hand-wash to keep painted finishes looking new.

How much do ceramic cups cost, and what does Set of 2 mean?
