Ok teapot

As regular readers of this site will know, the world of Orla Kiely has been busy as of late, with the launch of her perfume as well as the Pattern book . Here's more new product, with a fantastic new range of kitchenware

Sagaform daisy, tulip and clover tea sets

Tulip_sagaform

These Sagaform daisy, tulip and clover tea sets are another easy way to brighten up a kitchen. 

Pictured is the tulip design but the other designs follow the same pattern – 60s-style, bold floral designs on a generously sized mug. As you'd expect the clover cup features a green pattern, while the daisy is in blue – in fact it would go perfectly with the Jonathan Adler tea towel we featured yesterday. 

They're designed by Camilla Engdahl, the designer behind Sagaform's 'retro' tea cup and saucer. These tea cups each come in a metal tin decorated with the same pattern, surely perfect for future biscuit storage use. To complete the set, they also come with a tea ball. 

An ideal gift for a tea lover, they cost £22.23 each.
