V&A Georgian Lilies Reflect Gold Teacup and Saucer Set

£190.00 GBP

Our Georgian Lilies pattern puts a twist on the classic design from the Worcester and Caughley factories from the late 18th Century. The original design was made famous when King George III and Queen Charlotte visited the Worcester porcelain factory in 1788 and placed an order for this particular “Blue Lily” design for their breakfast service, after which it then became widely known as Royal Lily.

 

We have added our twist to this timeless design by introducing caterpillars as well as a butterfly in the well of the saucers, a lovely hidden detail which is discovered by the drinker when they lift the cup.

Collection Story

Richard Brendon has collaborated with the V&A to create a collection of exquisite bone china, in order to shine a light on the golden era of Georgian ceramics. The V&A collection consists of four striking saucers to pair with his signature gold and platinum reflective teacups. 

The original Reflect collection breathes life into 'orphaned' antique saucers, which have lost their matching teacups over time. When the reflective cups are placed onto the patterned antique saucer, they perfectly mirror the design below, making it appear as though the pair have always belonged together. 

For the first instalment of the collaboration, Richard has selceted four of his favourite patterns from the V&A's vast archives and re-imagined them with playful and whimsical twists. A great deal of consideration has gone into the research, design and creation of each of the saucers; the attention to detail in the patterns, illustrations, printing and manufacturing is second to none. 

To bring the collection to life, Richard has partnered with illustrator Chris Martin and, as always, the phenomenally skilled potters of Stoke-on-Trent, the home of British ceramics.
