Made of the finest porcelain, these cups and saucers have a translucent white color that exudes an aura of purity and sophistication. Each cup is a work of art in its own right, revealing the mastery and attention to detail of renowned Turkish ceramicist Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye.

This set of 2 Turkish Coffee Cups is called Kısmet, a word of Arabic and Turkish origin. The Turkish term has its roots in the Persian qismat (قسمت) and the Arabic qisma (قسمة), which evoke the concept of destiny. The word Kısmet resonates with a mystical aura, evoking the invisible forces that shape our lives and guide our path. It embodies the idea that every event, encounter, and experience is predestined, an integral part of our individual journey.
In the ceremonial of Turkish Coffee, the word Kısmet holds great significance. Each cup of Turkish coffee is prepared with care, and the coffee grounds are used to predict the future. The patterns left by the Turkish coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup and saucer are interpreted as signs of the destiny of the person whose future is being foretold.
Each Kısmet Turkish Coffee Cup is an invitation to fully embrace the present moment, for the path we walk is unique and precious. Be enchanted by the power of Kısmet and discover the joys that life has to offer.
