Oriente Italiano Indaco tea cup

A cup within Oriente Italiano

Oriente Italiano spans objects for the table and home; the Indaco piece brings its blue-and-white decoration to a tea cup in Antico Doccia form.1,2,3

The cup’s listed proportions

This cup is about 5.7 cm high and 9.4 cm in diameter, with a capacity of roughly 230 ml and a weight of about 107 g. These measurements describe the Indaco Antico Doccia tea cup, not the collection as a whole.1

Indigo, white and an imagined garden

The Indaco decoration sets blue motifs against a white ground. Ginori describes the design as an imagined garden and links its blue-and-white palette to Japanese table culture.1

A wider porcelain collection

Oriente Italiano encompasses porcelain for the table and home, including plates, tea and coffee services and decorative objects. Ginori describes its Garofano motif as rooted in Faenza ceramics and inspired by Oriental decorative design.2,3

Made for tea and infusions

The cup is intended for tea, herbal infusions and tisanes, with a matching saucer.1

Porcelain and practical use

Ginori describes the cup as pure porcelain, hand-decorated and Made in Italy. Its listing marks it microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe and suitable for food contact.1

The opening tells more than height alone

The tea and espresso cups are almost the same height, but their listed diameters differ. A photograph cropped around the decoration can therefore conceal the more useful size distinction. Match the object name as well as the Indaco colour, and keep the saucer as its own reference rather than assuming it is included whenever a cup is pictured with one.4
