Basilica Cathedral Window Glass Teacups Set of Two

Cathedral-Inspired Glass Teacups With Arched Window Detailing

Sold as a pair, they are designed to match the Basilica glass teapot.

STEEPED IN DETAILS

Step into a quieter, more graceful tea ritual with the Basilica teacups. Their raised pattern of rounded arches recalls the soaring windows of an old cathedral, and when the cups are filled, each arch becomes a small window of glowing color, from the pale gold of a delicate white tea to the deep copper of a robust black blend.

Skilled glass artisans handcraft every Basilica teacup from premium borosilicate glass teaware material. This pure, non-porous glass keeps your tea free of lingering tastes and smells and resists stains, so each cup looks and tastes as fresh as the first. Because it is heat-resistant and thermal shock resistant, the same cup that holds your steaming afternoon tea is ready for an iced infusion on a warm day.

At 8 ounces, each cup offers a satisfying serving, and the balanced, rounded body rests comfortably in the hand with an easy-grip handle. Complete the set with the Basilica vintage glass teapot and place each cup on one of Teabloom’s large clear glass saucers for a tea service with true architectural presence.

Packaged in a refined gift box, the Basilica teacups are a beautiful choice for weddings, anniversaries, holidays, or simply treating yourself. They carry the same handcrafted quality that has made Teabloom the teaware supplier of choice for luxury hotels worldwide.
