The New English Anatomica Ceramics

Posted on | Leave a comment

Anatomica_espresso_cup_and_sa 
My first instinct on see the Anatomica range was to recoil in horror, but on further investigation it is an interesting collection.

Designed b y Lisa Turner for The New English, the collection consists of breakfast, cake and bread plates, mugs and tea cup and saucer sets. The design is inspired by the 19th century’s newly discovered fascination with the human body and shows a Victorian gentleman with his inner workings exposed. Prices start from £18 for a mug up to £69 for a coffee cup and saucer.

  Normal_s_mugs Drinking coffee at work never has to be boring again and you can perfect you gaming skills with this scrabble mug by the letteroom.

It's not only practical but quirky and fun and combines the retro board game with your drinking needs. It's a lot of fun but is likely to bring about envy in the office kitchen. Also a great present for hard-to-buy people and comes in a lovely gift box.

Rubik’s Cube Mug and Rubik’s Cube Coasters

Rub1

From being the must-have puzzler game of the 1980s, the Rubik's Cube more of an iconic design, lending its shape and colours to all manner of modern-day items. The Rubik's Cube Mug and Rubik's Cube Coasters are the most recent.

Both are on pre-order now, with the mug following the 'Cube' shape as closely as possible, but throwing in a 'special curved lip' so it's actually easy to drink out of. The coasters also ape the cube, stacking on top of each other to create a cube when not in use.

If you want one of either, the mug is £8.99, while the coasters are £12.99. See a shot of the coaster over the page.

Lizzie Prestt is an independent designer who puts her illustrations onto a range of ceramic and fabric products. The design that particularly caught my eye is the England-upon-Sea Mug.

The illustration shows a traditional English seaside scene, with a row of town houses, Big Wheel and ice cream van on the front, whilst the back has a lighthouse. A similar illustration is also available on a tea towel.

The mug costs £10 and the tea towel £9 at Lizzie Prestt’s shop on Not on the High Street.

Folk mugs

Got your London tray, bag and lunchbox? If you really do love London town, you're sure to want to complete your collection with these London Folk Mugs from Our Workshop. 

Far removed from tourist tat, these mugs are actually quite classy little fellows – in fact they remind me of the work of Kenneth Townsend and his London series of tiles from the late 60s/early 70s. Each mug features a simple illustration of three characters of London – the Yeoman, the Royal Guard and a policeman – beautifully depiciting their iconic outfits, and their fine moustaches. 

A mug costs £12.
