The Sailor's Farewell large teapot, with its traditional shape and generous handle is a key piece in the collection, crafted in silky white fine bone china with a delicate pale blue finish echoing the original linen fabric, embellished with a stronger blue and intricate hand painted 22 carat gold details. It features Kit Kemp’s unique illustrative style depicting the Sailor’s farewell story with witty motifs including the rust red sails of his ship passing by a whale and a curious octopus below the depths. Backstamped for authenticity and beautifully presented in a signature Wedgwood blue box, this large teapot makes a charming and original gift and forms part of the tea ware used within The Whitby Hotel in New York and Ham Yard Hotel in London, co-owned by Kit Kemp.
Kit Kemp is an award-winning interior designer and co-owner of Firmdale Hotels. With a worldwide reputation for her unique and wonderful hotel interiors, she also lends her designs to textiles, fragrances and homeware, as well as being a published author. Kit Kemp has won many awards for her iconic designs.
Celebrated for her individual and original approach to design, Kit Kemp is a champion of British art, craft and sculpture. It was for this reason that Wedgwood approached her to create a collection of specially designed fine bone china.
Kit’s influences are often whimsical and lyrical, and usually contain a host of mythical animals. Hence, her Wedgwood collections feature a series of fantastical characters and surreal patterns that have a primitive feel.
