Top tea sets: Katy Potts Tea for Two

I’ve been collecting vintage English tea sets for over 10 years now, and I’m a big fan of pieces from Staffordshire potteries. So I was thrilled to discover Katy Potts Tea For Two. Her collection of English tea sets make for a perfectly mismatched afternoon tea (the very best kind, in my opinion!).

Available online and in-store at Liberty, the tea sets are beautifully presented in a rather smart black box, making them an excellent (and totally unique) gift. A tea set for one, comprising of a cup, saucer and plate, will set you back £45, while a tea set for two, comprising of two cups, two saucers and two plates, costs £75. A wonderful selection of vintage teapots are also available for £60.

    Any Birdy tips for storing tea set collection in a tiny rental? Where wall space for display cabinet-type thing is scarce? Where nails and screws on walls are not allowed? xx

    Ah, good question. I feel your pain. I must admit that my tea collection only came out when I hosted an afternoon tea. But I did keep a cup and saucer on my dressing table and filled it with hairclips and stuff. I also like the idea of stacks of books up against a wall with a different cup and saucer on top of each one. xx

    Oh! I’ve been dreaming about these ever since I found out about them a couple of weeks ago. Sigh.
