Wash ceramic by hand where you can; dishwashers chip rims and dull decorative patterns over repeated hot cycles. Store cups upright rather than stacked rim-down, and if you do stack, place a cloth or paper between them to prevent glaze scratching. As a gift, a full serving set suits weddings and housewarmings precisely because it is the sort of thing people rarely buy for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a glass tea set, ceramic holds heat far longer but hides the colour of the brew. Against buying cups and a pot separately, a matched set with its own tray looks considerably better in front of guests. For everyday solo coffee, a double-walled mug is more practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy warm the pot first?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCeramic absorbs heat from the first fill.
