Maa’zana & sebha Turkish coffee cups (set of six)

Design & Form

• Material: Bright white, glazed ceramic or porcelain with a polished finish.

• Shape: They feature a slightly tapered cylindrical body with a classic "D" handle. The stacking seen in the center suggests they have a subtle footed base that allows them to sit securely on their saucers.

• Saucers: The saucers have a distinctive ochre or gold-toned rim, providing a warm contrast to the cool white of the ceramic.

2. Hand-Painted Motifs

The cups feature blue and gold iconography that leans heavily into Islamic and Middle Eastern cultural themes:

• The Minarets: The top and bottom-left cups show stylized blue minarets or domes topped with golden crescents, reminiscent of a mosque's skyline.

• The Tasbih (Prayer Beads): The cups on the right display prayer beads arranged in a circular or "drop" shape, often symbolizing spirituality and reflection.

• Color Palette: The use of Cobalt Blue against the white background is a nod to traditional "Blue and White" pottery (like Iznik or Chinese porcelain), while the gold leaf accents add a touch of luxury and celebration.

To safely clean handmade painted products, always wash them gently by hand with warm soapy water, avoid abrasive scrubbers, and never put them in the dishwasher. This preserves the paint and glaze while preventing cracks or fading.

🧼 Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

1. Hand Washing Only

• Use lukewarm water (not hot or cold) to avoid thermal shock that can crack the ceramic & acrylic 
• Mild dish soap is best—avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
• Soft sponge or cloth only; never use steel wool or abrasive pads that can scratch the painted surface.

2. Rinsing

• Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
• Soap left behind can dull the glaze or damage delicate paint over time.

3. Drying

• Pat dry with a soft cotton towel immediately after washing.
• Avoid air-drying in humid environments, which can leave water spots or encourage mold growth.
