THE HOMEWARE
JW Anderson
JW Anderson has launched homeware via a collection that brings together Irish earthenware pottery, Irish linen and handblown Murano glass. Expertly handcrafted by Wedgwood artisans, the hero piece is a limited-edition coffee cup and saucer. Coloured in Jasper blue with white inlays, each cup and saucer are formed by hand then high-fired to create a matte, tactile finish. Then there’s the showstopping ceramic striped mug, which is made for everyday use. The striped design is hand-painted on for a unique finish on each, designed by Nicholas Mosse, who is known for producing handmade, functional pottery in the style of Irish Spongewares.
