Set contents
A 12-piece set from Pasabahçe is meant for 6 people and consists of:
-
6 Tea glasses: Slim glasses with a slightly fitted shape (the classic tulip model, but modernised).
-
6 Matching coasters (saucers): These often have an embossed pattern that perfectly matches the base of the glass.
Key features

Design: The 'Aqua' line is characterised by the horizontal lines or waves at the bottom of the glass and on the saucer. This not only creates a nice optical effect, but also gives extra grip.
-
Heat-resistant: The glass is specially designed to endure boiling hot tea without cracking.
-
Capacity: The glasses usually have a capacity of around 110 ml to 125 ml, which is the standard size for Turkish tea(cay).

Dishwasher-safe: The set can go into the dishwasher without any problems, with the glass retaining its shine for a long time.
-
Stackable: The dishes are easy to stack, saving space in kitchen cupboards.
