Turkish Tea Saucer Set 6 Piece — Pasabahce Elysia, 5 Inch

Pasabahce elysia turkish tea saucers — 6 piece, 5 inch glass plates

Saucers complete the service. The Pasabahce Elysia saucer set pairs with the Elysia tea glass collection — or with any standard-sized Turkish tea glass where a 5-inch saucer is the right fit. Six pieces, one per cup in a standard 6-glass service.

The saucer is a practical piece that often gets overlooked until it is missing: it protects the table surface from heat, gives each guest a stable resting place for their glass between sips, and brings the visual rhythm of a properly laid tea service together. Pasabahce's glass saucers are consistent in size and quality, and the Elysia design pairs naturally with the refined profile of the Elysia cup collection.

Why We Selected This Piece

At Rootsware, we carry Turkish tea glasses and coffee cups because the vessel matters. Tea served in the wrong glass changes how it is experienced — the narrow-waist tulip glass that concentrates the aroma, the small coffee cup that keeps the concentrate from cooling, the metal saucer that carries heat properly. We selected these because they are the objects that have been on Turkish and Middle Eastern tea tables for generations — not because they are trendy, but because they work.

Care & Cleaning

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild soap. Glass pieces are delicate — avoid stacking directly.
• Do not place cold glass directly into hot water or vice versa — thermal shock can crack thin glass.
• For tea staining: soak in warm water with a small amount of white vinegar, then rinse.
• Metal saucers and holders: wipe with a damp cloth. Polish occasionally with a soft cloth to maintain finish.
• Porcelain and ceramic cups: dishwasher safe on the top rack, but hand-washing extends the life of gold or silver decorative details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct size for a Turkish tea glass?
Traditional Turkish tea glasses hold 3.5–5 oz (100–150 ml). The narrow waist is not decorative — it keeps your fingers away from the hot liquid while holding the rim. Turkish tea is never poured to the brim; leave space at the top.

What is the difference between a Turkish coffee cup and an espresso cup?
Turkish coffee cups (2–3 oz / 60–90 ml) are similar in size to espresso cups but are typically rounder and shorter. The small size is intentional — Turkish coffee is concentrated and served in small amounts, with the grounds settling at the bottom.

Can I use these glasses in the microwave?
No. Glass tea glasses with metal rims or holders should not go in the microwave. Plain glass without metal accents can be microwaved briefly, but these sets are designed for stovetop-brewed tea, not reheating.

How many glasses do I need?
Turkish hospitality means serving all guests simultaneously — a set of 6 is the traditional hosting size. Sets of 2 are for personal use. If you regularly host, a 6-piece set is the right starting point.

What is the traditional way to serve Turkish tea?
On a tray, with a sugar bowl alongside (sugar is never stirred in — it is held between the teeth or placed on the saucer). The glass is filled two-thirds with concentrate, one-third with hot water from the kettle. Guests adjust to their own preference.
