LSA Rooster mugs

LSA rooster

Like LSA's Zabo vases we featured earlier in the year, you'd be forgiven for thinking these Rooster mugs were an older Scandinavian item. In fact they are another contemporary design by Monika Lubkowska-Jones. The mugs have a folk art look, each mug featuring a slight variant on a basic design of the silhouettes of two roosters. 

A set features all four designs, each on a different colour mug, and costs £20.

Nautical tea cup and saucer from welovekaoru

Nautical mug

Nautical looks are a long standing staple for retro clothing scene and they seem to be moving slowly into homewares – probably because historically most things used on boats are practical but not pretty. This nautically inspired tea cup and saucer made by welovekaoru happily fulfils both those categories. 

While the old-fashioned looking anchor bearing the words 'Steady as she goes' taps into the trend for designs bearing sailor-style tattoos, the hand-painted blue stripe against the white of the cup and saucer keeps it looking nice and fresh. It's the perfect thing for teaming with one of the many sailor inspired outfits out there. 

The tea cup and saucer costs £22.
