The generous breakfast cup & saucer, crafted in fine bone china with the silky white translucency offset by the pale blue of Kit Kemp’s original fabric design, make a delightful contemporary shaped set. The imaginative tale of The Sailor’s Farewell is whimsically illustrated with a lighthouse at the centre of the saucer and sea creatures, including a curious octopus and two little dogs alone on a boat on the breakfast cup. The set is embellished with a deeper blue and hand-applied 22 carat gold details with each piece backstamped for authenticity. Charmingly presented in a Wedgwood signature blue gift box, this breakfast cup and saucer reveal Kit Kemp’s gift for illustrative storytelling and make the perfect gift while forming part of the stylish tableware used within two of her hotels in New York and London.
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.
