porcelain cups
Delicate ceramic vessels
Porcelain cups are drinking vessels made of porcelain—a fine, white, translucent ceramic fired at high temperatures.
The phrase typically appears in contexts distinguishing delicate dishware from everyday mugs: She served tea in porcelain cups.
Porcelain cups suggest formality, fragility, or refinement compared to stoneware or plastic alternatives.
