coffee sets

Cups and saucers

A coffee set is a matching collection of items for serving coffee, typically including a coffee pot, creamer, sugar bowl, and cups with saucers.

Fine china or silver coffee sets are often displayed or reserved for entertaining: She inherited her grandmother's sterling silver coffee set.

The term distinguishes these coordinated pieces from everyday mismatched mugs.
