Jonathan Adler Neptune range

Neptune plate
There's a distinctive fishy and fifties flavour to the Jonathan Adler Neptune range

The range includes trays, plates and tumblers, all decorated with stylised fishes that have depicted in various stages of blue. Like all of Jonathan Adler's design, there's a definite retro feel to the design – in this case, it looks towards the 1950s. Just compare and contrast Marianne Nilsson's Herring Design (or even the fish in our recently featured Picknick design). This range offers an easy way to pick up a serving of style. 

Prices start at £5 for the glasses, with this salad plate costing £6.
