Product description
Product code: 68252218
Enjoy your favourite tea throughout the day with this charming earthenware teapot.
A classic design by Hinchcliffe & Barber, Dorset Delft was one of the first commercial designs they created in the 1980s. Today it is widely credited as one of their most successful and sought-after ceramics ranges. This timeless tableware range draws inspiration from the British tradition of Delftware and is a contemporary take on the ‘English country look’, depicting blue farmyard animals set against a fresh creamy glaze. A collection that fits as beautifully on a country dresser as it does in a contemporary paired-back environment. Manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent.
EDITORS NOTES Choosing the perfect chinaAll 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 |
