Wash promptly after tea to prevent tannin staining inside, and remove any marks with a paste of bicarbonate of soda rather than a scourer, which scratches glaze and makes future staining worse. Stack saucers separately from cups and store cups upright, since the rim is the most vulnerable part of any cup. Six is the standard table count for hosting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst mugs, a cup and saucer catches drips, holds a spoon and reads as a proper tea service.
