These porcelain pieces are fired at the Kristoff workshop in Valbrich, Poland, one of the oldest and grandest porcelain workshops in the world. Kristoff has been making porcelain since 1831 and its work can be found in museums and in the palaces of royalty. Our porcelain designs are in-glaze, which means slightly melted into the surface of the piece, to ensure a beautiful crisp image for years to come. Photo by Porcelana Krzysztof Sp. z o.o.

I feel as though I have been let in on one of the great secrets of life, having purchased this tea cup and saucer set.
You won’t be able to see this in either of my photos, because I am an average human with two arms (one holding the camera), but I have found that holding a teacup and saucer keeps your darn hands out of trouble.
One of my sheroes, Hannah Gadsby, says that the sound of a teacup being placed back on its saucer is her favorite sound. I will attest that this sound does make one feel that everything is all right with the world for the moment.
We know that this is not necessarily true, but for the few minutes that it takes you to sip and enjoy your tea, possibly with cookies or banana bread occupying the generous rim of the saucer, you may also feel that this is so.
Today, when I opened my box of two, 8-ounce cups with saucers, and my box of extra saucers for some of my12-ounce cups, I truly felt like a bona fide grown-up. There will eventually be a fight in my family over who gets all of the Calamityware that I have collected so far.
Bonus: I do believe there are new characters on this little tea cup... I won’t spoil the surprise. The cat in the middle of the saucer is perfect.
As an Englishman, I was appalled I didn't own a teacup and saucer. Since I started drinking tea in the womb, I thought I was long overdue. I purchased a two-piece set to try out, and I am delighted with them. I'm going to use this as a jumping off point as I work on building the full set. Teapot is next.
I am smiling so big when I opened my box from Calamityware the teacups snd saucers are perfect for me. I love the size. The saucers have the cat image in the middle, how much fun is this! The weight is very nice, not to light and not to heavy. I can’t wait to serve tea in these
Teacup and saucers arrived! Hoorah! I adore the delicacy of the teacups at the same time their sturdiness. The cat is purr-rect sitting in the middle of the saucers. So happy to have supported this Kickstarter campaign. The teacups and saucers go so well with the rest of my Calamityware. Saving my pennies to afford a tea service set.
As an engineer, I was most impressed by the dish packing. Ingenious! As always, the dishes were impeccably packed.
Another outstanding Calamityware product. I only drink tea (coffee is so pedestrain and yucky tasting) that I want my own cups and saucers. Family and friends know that only tea goes in those cups-smart people. Keep calm and keep drinking tea.
Another magnificent product! I LOVE my tea set. So dainty, so devilish! Just perfect for my afternoon tea. Thank you for your glorious, subversive, and funny designs.
Got these to see if they were nice enough to give to a friend who reads tea leaves. No matter what the leaves say, the cup is a reminder things could always be worse, right? These cups and saucers are beautiful.
What is there to say, really, about my two new tea cups? They are beautiful, elegant and hilarious. I have an actual Blue Willow tea pot, and these tea cups will be silly and lovely companions to it. Thank you, Don and crew, for reminding me every day that Things Could indeed Be Worse!
I sent this as a birthday gift to my sister. I sent her the teapot a couple of years ago. The cat in the saucer was perfect for her! She said she loves the set. ( I love mine, too!)
I had an issue with my order that was entirely my own fault (I clicked the wrong thing!) and the Things Could Be Worse customer service was phenomenal! Absolutely the best return experience I've ever had ever in my life history of shopping.
I couldn't wait to get the teacups when they were announced and am now very happy with them. They are a bit chonky compared to traditional bone china teacups; which means they are robust and great for morning coffee and easily washed, microwaved and used.
