It is a beautiful, jumbo cup and saucer. The cup is comfortable to use and well balanced which is what I would expect from Spode. I did find the saucer startlingly large, bigger than my tea plates! It is in proportion to the cup but my husband does tease me about it. I can get a wonderful amount of coffee in one serving, instead of two, and I have the experience of drinking out of a fine cup instead of a chunky mug.
