Paperchase's take on old-fashioned tea wares, the vintage rose collection, is now available online.
The range draws its inspiration from vintage floral illustrations and utilises the traditional rose motif on a range of notebooks, picture frames and kitchenwares, including the fine china cake stand pictured. The look is given a contemporary twist by illustrating the flowers in unnaturally bright blues, pinks and greens, against black.
Prices start at £2.50 for gift boxes and go up to £25 for the cake stand.
