Mini-FAQ

Can the mug be engraved?
No, the cup is made of porcelain and cannot be engraved.

Can the cup holder be engraved?
Yes – but only to a limited extent and exclusively after confirmation by the manufacturer, as niello and gilding limit the engraving area.

Can the saucer be engraved?
Yes, the silver saucer is perfectly suited for engraving.

Can the spoon be engraved?
No, this is not possible due to the niello decoration and gilding.

Care tips & silver knowledge

For care, we recommend a soft silver polishing cloth (e.g., Poliboy). Please do not use a dishwasher; silver, niello, and gold plating should only be cleaned gently by hand. Porcelain can be washed separately on a gentle cycle.
