This classic tea cup, saucer and 20cm plate is crafted in silky white fine bone china, finished with the delicate pale blue of Kit Kemp’s original fabric design, making it a timeless set. The whimsical, imaginative design of The Sailor’s Farewell depicts his loved-one waving him off at the centre of the saucer, together with his sailing ship and various characters he may encounter at sea such as a frogman on the footed tea cup. Embellished with a deeper blue and hand-applied 22 carat gold details, this delightful set shows Kit Kemp’s enchanting style. The pieces are backstamped for authenticity and beautifully presented in a signature blue Wedgwood gift box, making a wonderful treat for a tea lover and forming part of the tea service used within The Whitby Hotel in New York and Ham Yard Hotel in London which are 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.
