HOT POT


This beautiful complete vintage coffee set by Meakin is sure to bring some sunshine into cold winter days. Designed by Jessie Tait in 1969, the "Inca" pattern was very popular for its geometric orange colourway and scientific cross-section detail which was de riguer in the early 1970s.

DISH OF THE DAY

Carl Harry Stålhane (1920-1990) is a legendary Swedish art ceramist with a more than 40 year long career at Rörstrand pottery. This is a beautiful unique studio pottery dish which is typical of his experimental style with glazes. A large shallow dish in earthy tones and rugged form with thickly applied glaze it would make a great table centrepiece. POA info@kirkmodern.com
