Thank you for letting us see them! The jug with the birds deserves to have its chip restored – my mother did beautiful work, but sadly, she’s gone. Surely there are other good restorers in London? Looking at the picture of the 1790’s teapot, I can visualize my great-great grandparents sitting across the tea table, and Elizabeth smiling and pouring out the tea into the family’s cups. I do hope Andrew Coram’s shop will be there when next I cross the herring pond, as I’d love to visit!

One of my most treasured things is a small flowery jug that was given to me by an elderly aunt as a wedding gift in the mid 80s. She barely had 2 pennies to rub together and was one of life’s eccentrics. Sadly she died a few years ago in her 90s, but when I look at her little jug she’s here again 🙂

What a great eye has Andrew(and you of course). So exciting to see all the wonderful juxtapositions , crammed designs , eccentric and vivid colouring …..a real treat.
I have a treasured collection of early souviner ware , lustre cups with melancholic sayings on them , probably my biggest inspiration for my drawings , oh how I would love some of Andrews treasures.

Dark blue (almost navy) painted on plain white. I gave them to my daughter, but unfortunately a friend of hers put them into the dishwasher while helping to clear up (!) and the whole design broke up and I had to just discard them. But I had kept back a large and small meat plate, fortunately, so still have them.
No markings on the back, but pretty floral design with curly lines incorporating dots around the edges.
They belonged to my grandmother (born 1886) in Spitalfields, and I would suspect her parents before her as she was the youngest daughter. Her father had veg stalls in Spitalfields market, so they were local for a long time.

Shall I go and pour myself a cooling draught – or a gentle cup of tea? Thank you both for collecting and recording these.

The teapots are especially lyrical. Lovely start to a gorgeous summer day.
