*EDITORS NOTES* About Cath Kidston

Cath Kidston Ltd was founded in 1993 when she opened a tiny shop in London's Holland Park. She began by selling the vintage fabrics, wallpapers and brightly-painted junk furniture she remembered fondly from her childhood. Her clever, witty re-working of traditional English country house style meant that her shop soon became a cult success.

Gradually Cath began to design her own prints and products. Today the brand is synonymous with quirky prints and patterns, for everything from clothing and accessories to mobile phone cases and crockery.

Choosing the perfect china

All our china is made from clay and kiln-fired for durability. Except for pieces with special trims, everything is dishwasher safe. Below are a few options to consider when choosing your perfect china.

Earthenware	Strong and practical, perfect for everyday. Its cream colour and low firing temperatures allow for designed pieces.
Stoneware	Tougher than earthenware and chip resistant. Ideal for heavy use and can often go into the oven to temperatures of up to 250°C.
Terracotta	Uses a clay with a rich body colour giving the characteristic base colour, and has a low glaze firing allowing bright coloured glazes. Porous body allows for good thermal expansion and contraction properties making it an ideal body for cookware such as tagines and roasters.
Porcelain	Delicate yet strong. Carefully selected clays give whiteness and translucency. It can often go from oven to table.
Fine china	The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china whilst maintaining the benefits - strength, translucency & delicacy.
Bone china	Bone china is made from 40% bone ash. This makes strong yet thin and delicate pieces which are microwave, dishwasher* and oven safe making each piece ideal for everyday use, not just formal. *Unless product has metallic details - always check individual item for specific care instructions
