Fiesta Stick Handle Demitasse Cup & Saucer

Demitasse, French for 'half cup,' refers to a small cup typically used for serving espresso or Turkish coffee. This set holds 3 ounces, making it perfectly sized for a concentrated shot of coffee rather than a standard mug of drip coffee.

The stick handle is a distinct, minimalist design choice that offers a sleek look. While it differs from the traditional looped handle, it is designed for a delicate grip, typically held between the thumb and index finger, which is standard for demitasse service.

These are common in vintage Fiesta production, particularly with darker glazes where the manufacturing process can sometimes leave faint surface marks. They are cosmetic in nature and do not affect the structural integrity or usability of the ceramic.

While Fiesta dinnerware is generally known for being durable, this is a retired, collectible piece from 2001. To preserve the glaze and prevent potential thermal shock or wear, we recommend hand washing this set rather than using a dishwasher or microwave.

At 4.75 inches in diameter, this saucer is significantly smaller than a standard tea or coffee saucer. It is scaled specifically to complement the proportions of the 3-ounce demitasse cup, providing a balanced, elegant presentation.
