Description
This is for the espresso drinker who believes the smallest rituals deserve a little scenery.
The Espresso Cup and Saucer Paraty by Tania Bulhões turns a quick coffee into a considered pause, with serene green and blue brushstrokes and organic, wave-inspired contours that nod to Paraty’s landscapes and colonial charm. Made from fine porcelain, the cup and coordinating saucer bring an easy sense of movement to the table, while dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe care keeps them practical for daily use.
A lovely design-lover gift, especially for the person who never skips the post-lunch espresso.
Care
Gold banding and hand painting mean no microwave, ever, and no dishwasher if you want the gold to stay gold. Warm water, mild soap, dry it properly, put it back in rotation. The body itself was fired past anything your kitchen can do to it. The decoration is the delicate part, and even that survives ordinary Tuesdays.

“Inspired by nature and the world"
Tania Bulhões opened a small shop in Uberaba, in the interior of Minas Gerais, in 1989. It sold plates, paintings, whatever came in. Somewhere in there she worked out that the plates were the point. São Paulo followed in 1991.
