Pasabahce Premium Turkish Tea Cups Set of 12

These are the real deal—authentic Pasabahce glasses made in Turkey. Reviewers who are Turkish or familiar with Turkish tea culture specifically praise these as genuine Turkish tea glasses, not imitations. They have the traditional tulip shape that's meant to be held by the rim, and Turkish customers mention they're exactly what they'd use at home.

Yes, that's actually by design. The thin glass construction means they heat up quickly, which is why traditional Turkish tea glasses are meant to be held by the rim, not the body. A few reviewers mention the glasses get 'very hot,' but this is standard for authentic Turkish tea service. If you prefer insulated cups you can hold comfortably, these might not be for you.

They're smaller than typical Western tea cups—around 4-5 ounces, which is standard for Turkish tea glasses. A few reviewers mention they're 'smaller than expected,' but that's authentic to Turkish tea culture where tea is served in smaller portions and sipped slowly. Think espresso-sized rather than coffee mug-sized.

This is hit-or-miss. Multiple reviewers specifically mention poor packaging with broken saucers or plates upon arrival. The glasses themselves seem sturdy once you have them, but the shipping packaging could be better. You might want to inspect the package carefully when it arrives and contact the seller immediately if anything's broken.

Yes, and reviewers say they hold up well. A couple of people specifically mention running them through the dishwasher with no scratches or cloudiness. That's a nice modern convenience for what's otherwise a very traditional style of tea glass.

Most reviewers think so. You're getting 12 cups and saucers of authentic Turkish glassware for a reasonable price. Several people mention the 'good value' aspect, especially considering these are genuine Pasabahce products made in Turkey. Just factor in the possibility of needing a replacement or two if packaging damage occurs during shipping.
