You would be forgiven for thinking the print on this V&A and Liberty Art Tray comes from the middle of the last century. In fact, it dates from much further back than that – 1797 to be precise.
The V&A Shop and Liberty Art Fabrics have collaborated on a limited edition collection o f18 printed cottons, featuring designs from quilts in the V&A’s collection. The fabric designs have now been put onto a range of different shaped and sized trays.
The trays cost between £18 and £35 from the V&A Shop.
A new product from People Will Always Need Plates is always something to celebrate. Their latest range are these Electric Avenue Trays.
The illustration celebrates the past 200 years of British architecture with the different styles of homes we have had. The streets are complete with the type of transport typical of that period. The trays are available in two sizes, a large one (43cm by 33cm) and a small (27cm by 20cm), which cost £25 and £17.50 respectively. The colours are People Will Always Need Plates signature pop art shades – process blue or 70s green for the large trays or blood orange or magenta for the small.
