Sweet and sour. Peanut butter and jam. Your timid best friend and her gin-slamming partner.
Things that shouldn’t logically match often do.
Just ask Katy Potts. Her collection of vintage English china looks best when mismatched. Each piece is authentic (made anywhere from the 1920s to ’50s), so finding a complete set is not always possible.
The range includes everything from delicate floral tea cups and pots to cake stands, egg cups, toast racks, coffee jugs and butter dishes. Each comes wrapped in an elegant vintage-inspired hatbox that you’ll want to keep and reuse.
Next time you have a random mix of friends round for a cuppa, these should suit the occasion.
To a tea.
