William Edwards Quill Bone China Tea Cups 170ml (Pack of 12)

The William Edwards Quill tea cup is a fine bone china piece designed for hot beverage service in hotels, restaurants, and hospitality venues. The collection takes its visual cues from the ribbed geometry of sea urchin shells, resulting in a profile that is distinctive without being ornate — practical for everyday service while carrying enough character to suit a considered table setting.

Bone china at this weight and wall thickness performs well in active service environments. The cups are light enough to handle comfortably during a full afternoon tea or function service, and the scratch-resistant glaze helps maintain a presentable finish over time even when cups are stacked or handled repeatedly by front-of-house staff.

From an operational standpoint, the Quill cup offers several practical advantages for hospitality teams:

• Fine bone china construction with a lightweight profile suited to high-volume beverage service
• Chip-resistant forming helps reduce breakage costs in busy environments
• Scratch-resistant glaze maintains a clean appearance through repeated use
• Fully dishwasher safe, supporting efficient kitchen turnaround
• Sold in packs of 12, allowing straightforward stock management

There are no unusual storage or handling requirements. As with all fine bone china, standard care applies — avoid impact with heavy crockery in the dish rack and use appropriate dishwasher cycles for delicate ware. The Quill range is available across multiple pieces, so if you are looking to build a matched set across cups, saucers, and other tableware, it is worth confirming availability across the range before placing a larger order.

This cup is well suited to hotels, tearooms, fine dining restaurants, and any venue where presentation matters alongside practicality. For very high-turnover environments where durability takes priority over aesthetics, a more robust earthenware or vitrified option may be worth considering instead.

If you are specifying crockery across a full dining room or function space and want to talk through quantities or range compatibility, we are happy to help you work through the detail.
