Monday blues-buster

Something very satisfying about these plates - not just the strong red, white and blue colour combo, or the cute, whimsical illustration - but the fact that they're from the original purveyors of twee chinaware: Royal Doulton. I love it when heritage brands shake off the old and embrace the new, in this case with illustrations by Karolin Schnoor.

This collection will be debuting at Home next week, along with lots of other lovely interiorsy things. Happy New Year!
