Feldspar Tea Cup and Saucer
While we are huge fans of a mug to cradle everyday, there is something distinctly pleasing about a good old-fashioned cup and saucer. It’s about the sound of a spoon stirring a china cup and then being laid to rest on a saucer, about the usefulness of being able to perch a biscuit or two beside your cup of tea, ready for dunking. Or not.
The Feldspar rounded, dimpled cup sits perfectly in the hand, for when you still need to cradle a warm drink and has a wide saucer to sit upon, beside those biscuits. With a small curved hand-painted handle in Cobalt, and a large saucer with an uneven profile and our characteristic hand-painted banding to emphasise its sketch-like nature. A treat for treats, or just for your everyday.

OBJECTS FOR LIFE
Feldspar began in late 2016 by Jeremy and Cath Brown. Their ethos was to create ‘objects for life’ - beautiful things made properly and to last, with an elegant and simple aesthetic to weather the trends of time. Made out of fine bone china (the strongest type of ceramic) by a family pottery in Stoke on Trent.
In 2018 Feldspar set up their own ceramics studio in Devon to supplement the production in Stoke. The team there make everything using a method called 'slip casting' - pouring liquid clay into plaster moulds. Mould making, slip-casting and industrial bone china production are all listed as critically endangered crafts by the Heritage Crafts Association in the UK. Many of the larger potteries in England now only serve as museums and showrooms, with all of their wares being made (more cheaply) abroad. Feldspar were anxious to preserve the skills and craft required to keep bone china production going in England, and to show that it is perfectly possible to make things from start to finish in the UK. Their Devon pottery now makes half of all our ceramics, and everything they make is hand painted there.
