- What is the recommended washing and handling for your tea glasses?

Colored tea sets are very delicate pieces and must be handled accordingly. We recommend that when washing you use a mild soap and warm water to clean. Never use washing machine to wash. As with everything, gentle handcare, love and respect will yield you many years of enjoyment with the colored sets.

- I would like to know how large (in ounces) the glasses of your tea sets are:

The normal volume of a thin waist Turkish tea glass is 3 ounces, or a slightly more than 1/3 of a cup.

- When we try to add a second item to the shopping cart the first item we added seems to disappear. Why is this happening?
