A full fifteen-piece tea service in Multani blue pottery, painted by hand in Multan. The pattern is a big open lotus worked in cobalt and sky blue on cream, with a running wave band above and below it. The teapot is the straight-sided shape rather than the round-bellied one, so it pours slowly and sits tall on the tray.

- Large lotus and leaf panels in cobalt with sky blue shading

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 15 pieces?
One teapot (28 oz), one lidded sugar pot, one milk jug, six cups and six saucers.
How much tea does the pot actually pour?
About four cups from one filling, so you will refill once for a table of six. That is normal for this shape of Multani teapot.
Can I put this in the microwave and the dishwasher?
Yes. The glaze is lead-free and the pieces are fired high enough for both. The teapot lid is the one piece worth washing by hand, only because the knob takes the knocks in a dishwasher rack.
Will every piece match exactly?
No. Each piece is painted by hand, so petal size and brush pressure shift a little from cup to cup. Order the set in one go and it all comes from the same kiln batch, which keeps the blues close.
Handcrafted in Multan, Pakistan. Minor variations in color and pattern are natural features of authentic handmade work.
