Striped Small Cafetière (500ml)

Sale price£193.00
Colour:Striped

Part of our Stripe Collection. We've taken our classic fine bone china shapes and added some (minimal) decoration - stripes hand-drawn in cobalt. We've always held off adding any decoration to our wares apart from a handle or a line, but these stripes serve only to enhance our classic shapes - to add to their sketch like character. We wanted these stripes to echo the grain in wood or contours on a map, delicately emphasising the uneven surface of our wares. Each object embraces the marks of the makers - no two are ever exactly the same - without detracting from the striking shapes of our wares and the tactile dimpled surface of our fine bone china. Enhancing the uneven surface of the china rather than obscuring it.

Our small cafetière is the perfect size for coffee for two. While our large cafetière can quench a crowd, this one is small but perfectly formed - it holds approximately 400ml of coffee (as you can’t fill it all the way up with coffee and plunger to account for!), so enough for a few little cups or two larger ones. Or indeed an ideal size for a solo pot of coffee of a morning while 'wfh'. Works exactly as a regular french press, with a tightly fitting sieve within attached to a fine bone china handle. All made by actual hands, the way things used to be made.
