Why this cup earns its place
The Royal Crown Derby Crushed Velvet Copper cups bring a warm, distinctive finish to smaller-format service. Made from bone china and presented in copper, each cup holds 85ml, making it a considered choice when the drink or tasting portion is intended to be concise rather than oversized.
Crushed Velvet was designed to make food and drink stand out through a balanced use of texture, colour, pattern and proportion. The result is tableware with real visual presence that still lets what is being served take centre stage. The copper finish is especially suited to occasions where the cup is part of the presentation, from afternoon tea to carefully styled front-of-house service.
The six-piece pack is easy to put into rotation, and the cups are dishwasher safe for simpler cleaning between services. That gives hospitality teams a practical handling detail alongside the collection’s more expressive presentation.
