To date, no instruction sheet or booklet for this set has turned up, but because it is a symbol cup, it is most likely that one was supplied with each purchase.

The clay body for this cup formed a relatively weak bond with the glaze and therefore pouring hot tea into these cups and saucers may produce crackling or crazing, as seen in the final image on this page.
