The tea and coffee service includes a teapot with lid, two graduated cream jugs, and a large quantity of mugs, some of which feature a contrasting solid dark brown interior glaze, accompanied by a stack of coordinating chocolate brown glazed saucers. Each piece reflects the robust, functional aesthetic of British Mid-Century Modern design.

Dinner plates approximately 25cm diameter; teapot approximately 18cm height.
