The Botanica Noir espresso cup and saucer brings the darkest design in the Otava Botanica line down to demitasse scale: a small, straight-sided cup and matching saucer, the near-black ground carrying its botanical study of trailing stems, cream-veined leaves and small blooms, with a clean white interior that shows off the crema. It is a proper espresso set — the kind that makes a short black feel like an occasion.
The form is a tribute to Italy, where the espresso ritual was perfected — the small, straight-sided cup that keeps a short black hot, the saucer sized for the spoon and a square of chocolate, the crema bright against a white interior.
The pattern belongs to a family. The Botanica design also appears on powder-blue and cream grounds and across mug and coffee-cup shapes, so the espresso set sits naturally alongside its companions — whether you are building a considered coffee service or collecting the pieces you love one at a time.

It is made from fine bone china, the material that has defined European coffee ware for two centuries. Held to the light, the walls carry the faint translucency only true bone china gives; the little cup feels fine and light on its saucer, with a smooth, cool glaze.
An espresso set is an unusually good gift for the office world in particular — the dark palette reads as easily masculine as feminine, which makes it a rare safe choice for a male colleague or a boss, and it suits the milestones that call for a little polish: a farewell, a promotion, a corporate thank-you, or the coffee lover who has everything but this. Carrying no name or slogan, it never misjudges its recipient; it simply arrives as something elegant.
Prefer something quieter? This design is also offered as a plain white bone china espresso cup and saucer in the same shape — the same fine material and form, undecorated, for those who like their tableware unadorned or want to mix the patterned with the plain. Choose your finish above.
Sold as a set. The cup and its matching saucer are supplied together, and the price shown is for both pieces.
Care. To protect the design, we recommend gentle hand washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
