Julia Davey VW Vans & Caravans Ceramics

Posted on | Leave a comment

Vw%20jug%201_0 
Julia Davey has produced a small collection VW Vans & Caravans Ceramics, similar in style to her Retro Robot Ceramics we featured in the past.

This collection currently consists of a jug, a mug and a bowl, although other items may be added in the future. The designs start off as pen and ink drawings which are then scanned and transferred onto the ceramics. A particularly nice touch is that as well as the design on the outside, there is a van or caravan on the inside of the piece too. The bowl costs £16, mug £17 and jug £19.

Healsrules 
New in at Heal’s is the Heal’s Rules range of home accessories designed by Jeremy Hutchinson.

Inspired by the slogan “Nothing Need Be Ugly” as developed by Ambrose Heal in 1915 for the Design & Industries Association, the collection extends the idea that every home is governed by little rules of etiquette. The range includes ceramics, placemats, cushions, postcards and prints, with related slogans, for example the placemats instruct “Elbows Off the Table” and a teacup and saucer proclaims 'Never Lift the Little Finger'.

Prices range from £4.50 for a breakfast bowl up to £72 for the prints. View the current collection online at Heal’s.

Calyx inspired tableware at Heal’s

Posted on | Leave a comment

Calyxtableware_m
Cast your minds back to October and you may remember Heal's Dinky armchair. It was especially noticeable for its upholstery which was a reinterpretation of Lucienne Day's famous Calyx design. If you liked that, Heal's have gone one step further with the design applying it to this set of Calyx inspired tableware. 

Calyx was originally created for the Festival of Britain in 1951 and remains one of Day's most famous designs. For this reinterpretation, geometric stem-like forms of the designs have been applied against white porcelain. In a bit of circularity, the placement and use of the natural motif on this tableware echoes a design that itself drew heavily from the 1950s – Sanderson's hugely popular Dandelion Clocks range. 

Prices for this tableware start at £5.50 for a cereal bowl and go up to £25 for a platter.

We featured Hannah Turner’s most famous work, her ceramic birds, way back in 2007, but now the ceramic designer’s range also includes the Pompom Tableware collection.

The pompom design is made up of spirals and flowers in retro colours against blue and pink backgrounds. The teapot (£29.5), tall jug (£27) creamer jug (£16) have a slightly unusual shape which adds to their quirkiness. There is also a mug and a bowl ( both £14) in the range.
