My friend invited me round for tea the other day and we drank from these lovely Ann Stokes pottery teacups! I can't think of a better way to enjoy a cup Tetley Organic! Ann Stokes is a talented 83-year old potter and her work is held by the Victoria & Albert Museum and featured in the open kitchen of the new Rebecca Hossack Gallery on Conway Street pictured below. She lives half in London and half in Tuscany, which has greatly influenced her animal-inspired creations, which include mirrors, lights, tableware, sculpture, and more.
I just love the ‘earthy, handmade’ quality to the designs. However, due to the high-kiln temperatures needed to fire pottery, it can’t be said that these designs are the most ‘eco-friendly’, but they are at least handmade within the UK. If only Ann’s kiln was fired using renewable energy, then these lovely teacups would definitely be one of Biome Lifestyle’s favourites!
