the ICON 8 - Wedgwood's Butterfly Bloom Teaware
Monday, August 04, 2014
If you have ever viewed my instagram feed you will see I am very taken with life's little luxuries and in particular elegant tea ware. For me Wedgwood is the epitome of style and I find it hard to resist their beautiful collections and archive pieces.
One of my prized possessions is my Wedgwood for Mulberry teacup and saucer, produced as 'tickets' for the Spring Summer 2014 show. My ultimate favourite collection is Jasper ware, which I am collecting, featuring the iconic 'Wedgwood Blue' and typical white relief which was first developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s.
Today the collections are designed in the Wedgwood Studio in their Barlaston, Staffordshire, home. What I admire most about this renowned brand is how they seamlessly blend old characteristics and patterns with new prints and shapes. It isn't easy for a brand so steeped in history to continue to be 'current' but Wedgewood maintains their position bringing a taste of luxury to our tables which will stand the test of time.
The Icon this week is the Butterfly Bloom collection, the perfect set for a summer garden party. With it's vintage floral patterns, inspired by archive pieces, throw on a summer dress, deck the garden with bunting and set the table for a stylish Wedgwood tea party.
