Sugar Dip Porcelain Cup*
This European style mini porcelain cup is elegant and classy, and it is perfect for guests to take home at a bridal tea party or wedding reception. Each mini teacup comes with a matching porcelain saucer plate, so the favor at every place setting is a complete little set rather than a single loose piece.
The scale is the charm of it. The cup measures 1-7/8" wide by 2-1/8" high and the saucer plate is 4-1/2" wide, which is smaller than the mug anyone drinks from on a weekday. That is exactly why it feels like an occasion. Filled with espresso, a single serving of tea, a scoop of sorbet or a few sugared almonds, the Sugar Dip Porcelain Cup turns a place setting into something a guest photographs before they touch it.
It comes with gold or silver trim, a thin bright line around the rim that catches candlelight down a long table. Set them in a row at a bridal shower and the room looks planned. Stack the saucers and nest the cups for an afternoon tea, and the table looks like it was borrowed from someone's grandmother, in the best way.
Porcelain is what makes it a keepsake rather than a disposable. A paper cup goes in a bin at the end of the night. The Sugar Dip Porcelain Cup goes into a cupboard, comes back out for a quiet Sunday, and reminds whoever pours into it where it came from. HansonEllis has been putting together favors like this in-house since 1999, and this one belongs to the tea favor collection for exactly that reason: it is small, it is pretty, and it survives the drive home.
Use it at a bridal tea party, a wedding reception, a milestone birthday lunch, a Mother's Day table or a baby shower where the theme calls for something softer than a printed box. It suits a formal room and a garden table equally well.
Choose your quantity above and set a Sugar Dip Porcelain Cup and saucer at every seat.

Which one should I choose
Favors at a seated event split into the ones that get consumed and the ones that get kept, and porcelain lands firmly in the second group.
| Sugar Dip Porcelain Cup | Choose it when the favor should double as tableware during the event and survive as a keepsake afterwards. |
|---|---|
| A printed paper favor box of tea or sweets | Choose it when the favor is meant to be opened and eaten, and nothing needs to last past the weekend. |
| A disposable cup for coffee service | Choose it only when guests are standing and moving, and no one is taking anything home. |
If your tables are set and your guests are seated, the porcelain cup and saucer earns its place twice: once as the setting, once as the gift.
