■ Product Features
How would Char spend his afternoon break? Noritake and Bandai answered the question by designing this original teacup and saucer. With this set, you can enjoy Char’s afternoon right at home.
Teacup
Featuring a deep red and gold color scheme centered around Char Aznable’s emblem, the cup has Char’s sign written on a plain white background on the inside, while the pure gold of the handle symbolizes Char’s strength with its radiance.
Saucer
The rim embellished with rank insignia gives it a sense of unity with the cup, while the swan sketched on the center reveals a softer side to Char: Lalah Sune, whom he can only meet during his lonely afternoon tea sessions.
