Tea Cups & Saucers, Set of 2 – Giraffe by Roberto Cavalli Home

Tea Cups & Saucers, Set of 2 in Giraffe is Roberto Cavalli at the table: the house's print-driven glamour, rendered in bone china.

A set of 2, Cup Ø 3.3 × H 2.3 in (Ø 8.4 × H 5.8 cm); saucer Ø 6 in (15.2 cm), holding 7.5 fl oz (222 ml), presented in a Cavalli luxury box.

The Design Story

Giraffe draws the animal's patchwork coat as fine gold and platinum outlines on white bone china, with a gold rim and the RC logo: animalier, whispered. Roberto Cavalli opened his house in Florence in 1970, made animal print his signature, and in 2012 took it home with the launch of Roberto Cavalli Home at the Salone del Mobile in Milan.

Why You'll Love It

The design does the decorating, so even a simple coffee looks considered. Bone china is lighter and whiter than ordinary porcelain, which makes the print read crisply. The gold and platinum detailing catches candlelight beautifully. It mixes easily with plain whites or with other Cavalli patterns. The branded box makes it an effortless, impressive gift. And it carries the name of one of Italy's boldest fashion houses.

Made for Real Life

Made for tea, or a cappuccino-size pour. The distributor doesn't publish care instructions. We recommend washing by hand in warm, soapy water with a soft sponge, no abrasive pads, and no microwave (the gold and platinum decoration). Avoid sudden temperature changes and stack with a cloth between pieces (our advice).

Worth Every Penny

Brought out twice a week for ten years, $440 comes to about $0.42 per use (our math). That is $220 per cup and saucer.

Questions We Hear Most

What's the story behind the Giraffe design?

Giraffe draws the animal's patchwork coat as fine gold and platinum outlines on white bone china, with a gold rim and the RC logo: animalier, whispered.

How should I care for the Giraffe tea cups set?

The distributor doesn't publish care instructions. We recommend washing by hand in warm, soapy water with a soft sponge, no abrasive pads, and no microwave (the gold and platinum decoration). Avoid sudden temperature changes and stack with a cloth between pieces (our advice).

Is the Giraffe tea cups set gift-ready?

Yes. It arrives in a Roberto Cavalli luxury box, ready to give.

What goes well with the Giraffe tea cups set?

Other pieces from Cavalli's Giraffe service, or plain white tableware if you want the pattern to stand out. Mixing two Cavalli patterns, such as an animal print with a white-and-gold design, also works well.

What are the exact measurements of the Giraffe tea cups set?

Cup Ø 3.3 × H 2.3 in (Ø 8.4 × H 5.8 cm); saucer Ø 6 in (15.2 cm); capacity 7.5 fl oz (222 ml).

Why does it matter that the Giraffe tea cups set is bone china?

Bone china is porcelain made with bone ash, which makes it whiter, lighter and more translucent than ordinary porcelain, so patterns and metallic details look crisper. The distributor lists this piece as bone china.

Why We Love It

Cavalli never did quiet for its own sake. Even the white-and-gold pieces have attitude, and the animal prints are pure runway. Bringing them to the table is the easiest way to live with that energy every day.
