The Addiction



My serious addiction to Stokesay Ware continues, I'm afraid. These pieces arrived today and I am once again so happy with the quality of them.

I was a little hesitant about the cups and saucers because on their web site they are photographed straight on. The cups have a bit of a curve that goes up to the rim, so I couldn't see if they were as thin as I hoped they would be. They are perfect! Also I couldn't see if the big bowl had a design on both sides. It has a design on three sides and a surprise one inside the bowl.

  6. Hi Catherine,

    Your new pieces look wonderful, I must admit that I too get a little nervous when buying on-line. I am very particular about scale and yes, thickness etc. of things like cups and plates etc.....but this work looks amazing, you must be thrilled!

  13. I love these gems literally! The cups in particular, I suggest the art of receiving, which was once cultivated and has now lost: people offer you coffee in paper cups shabby!
    Your service is to be magnificent!
