What are the measurements of adult size tea cup and tea pot?
What are the measurements of adult size tea cup and tea pot in inches?? Can anyone let me know the size of a normal set`s teapot ( without lid and with lid).. and size of tea cup ( with and without saucer) , length and width...... I have looked at a few tea sets online but the measurements confuse me.. I have only mugs in the house so cant measure myself.
It seems most sets when i look closely have smaller tea cups which in reality are demitasse ( esspresso coffee cups)

Sorry for putting this question in the beauty section, but noone was answering in the relevant section!

ok.. let me clarify.. i bought a few cups and saucers and when i received them they looked small to me.. they were about 2 and 1/4 inches in height and 3 and 1/2 inches wide at the mouth including the handle..
well.. thats when i found out that this size is called demitasse ( esspresso coffee size)..
What i really wanted was normal teacups that dont make your guests think that youre assuming everyone is attending a child. dolls tea party!

I don't really understand your question, because teapots are made in all different sizes. So are teacups! Some are high and narrow, some are flatter and wide. Teapots can be tall, square, squat, round, somewhat hourglass-shaped, even shaped like an animal or a house! You can't say there is a set "adult"-size of a teapot. And are you asking for measurements of height or circumference? And why do you need to know the measurements with and without a lid? The best I can tell you is look for a teapot that's at least 8 inches tall or 8 inches wide and a teacup that's about three inches high or about 2.5 inches across if it's a short one. But if I were as confused as you seem to be, I'd go to a store to pick out the tea set.

Good luck.

Okay, I see your edit with the added details now. Yes, demitasse cups are widely sold, but wherever you got them from should have specified that they were demitasse cups. They should never have been sold as teacups, especially because demitasse cups aren't even for tea, they're for coffee! If you look for a tea set that includes a teapot, you should be safe from getting anything like that. BUT some teapots are small, intended for individual use or for decorative purposes more than practical use. Chinese teapots also tend to be small (that's pots intended to be used for chinese tea, not all teapots made in China). If you go to a tea site or a site that sells basic china (like Corelle), you will be able to find a plain, normal teapot and teacups. Fancier companies, like Lenox, will have fancier tea sets that are normal also.

Make some good sandwiches to serve with your tea! ;)

There is no such thing as a "teacup" maltese. There is just the maltese - anyone selling you a teacup version is selling you a badly bred runt. As for what they look like - you should NOT get a dog based only on appearence - you should get one based on how well its temperament, personality and care needs fit your own needs and situation. You should certainly not get a dog based on how it looks as a puppy because ALL dogs look different once fully grown. 1) Look at adult maltese. If you don't like them as adults, don't get one as a puppy. 2) If you DO like them as adults, then research the breed and meet some, and make sure they are the sort of dog you want before you commit. 3) If you decide you want one - get a proper maltese. Either adopt one (ask the breed club about rescues) or find a responsible, caring breeder. Don't waste your money on a "teacup" runt - it will cost you a fortune in vet fees, and you would be paying an unscrupulous moron to abuse yet more animals.
