We don't say "Wow" too often but this set is a stunner. This is a beautiful opalescent turquoise colr. We absolutely love the shape of the pot. The cups are beautiful in their own right. The teapot has a metal strainer and holds about 22 ounces. The cups are about 3 ounces. This is a real treat and would make a gift to impress or a treasure for you. We only have a couple of these sets so we can't replace it if it breaks on it's way there. We will send this to you insured by the postal service. If you've ordered from us before you know that we pack VERY carefully.
