The Ichendorf Dogs Tea Cup with Saucer transforms the classic ritual of tea into an imaginative experience filled with character. Designed by Alessandra Baldereschi, this handmade borosilicate glass teacup with matching saucer celebrates the strong and loyal spirit of dogs. Within its transparent walls, the motif becomes a miniature sculpture, an unexpected encounter between playfulness and elegance. Far more than a simple vessel, it enriches tea and coffee sets with design refinement and personality.
A collection that celebrates diversity
Belonging to the Ichendorf Dogs collection, this tea cup is one of several variants depicting different breeds: golden retriever, English foxhound, chihuahua, French bulldog, and poodle. Each breed carries its own story, personality, and charm. Together, the collection becomes a lively narrative about the bond between humans and animals, offering a poetic interpretation of companionship. Dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C/104 °F recommended), the tea cup unites durability with the finesse of thin lampworked glass, making it practical for everyday use while remaining a piece of collectible drinkware.
Artisanal details
Every element is the result of meticulous glassmaking. The minimal thickness enhances both lightness and resistance, allowing the cup to feel almost weightless while remaining sturdy. The saucer, simple yet refined, completes the piece with a harmonious balance of form. The breed figure stands out vividly, giving the teacup a decorative soul that transforms an ordinary moment of tea into a ritual of storytelling. Each subtle variation highlights its handmade origin, ensuring that no two cups are ever quite alike. This is a perfect addition to cups collections at home.
Harmonies across collections
This tea cup pairs effortlessly with the Ichendorf Botanica collection, Ichendorf pitchers and jugs, Ichendorf teapots, and WD Lifestyle pitchers and carafes. It brings humor, warmth, and personality to any table, whether used alone or as part of a complete Ichendorf setting. For collectors, dog lovers, or design enthusiasts, the Dogs Tea Cup with Saucer is more than just tableware: it is a cherished piece of poetic glassmaking, a union of functionality, artistry, and affection that elevates the ritual of tea into a celebration of character.
