Porcelain Dessert Cup

I am a Porcelain Dessert Cup. Don't let my porcelain white teeth deceive you. Look a little closer and you'll see, I've got a major sweet tooth!

Curator's Notes 

These restaurant style dessert cups with footed bases are the perfect end to any meal. Appropriate for casual or formal dining, they showcase ice cream, tiramisu, fruits and nuts tastefully. Definitely an inspired presentation for an eye-catching finale when entertaining.
