“Enjoying breakfasts with style”

I am so happy with this pair of hand painted coffee cups and matching small plates that can also serve as saucers. I love that the design is complete on the saucers and use them for my breakfast pastries. The workmanship is quite precise, a perfect match to bowls purchased a couple year ago. Also, the packaging was expertly done with care so that all arrived in excellent condition.

“Absolutely beautiful!”

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Ordering, tracking were simple - when it arrived I was very impressed at the care with which it had been packaged - extremely safe & secure but without excessive packaging. The platter is just stunning! Beautifully painted and the colours are wonderfully vibrant! This was bought as a gift and I am delighted as I know the recipient will love it!
