Acquired, a couple of years ago now, from the vintage bazaar which is Ebay, it came as part of a quarter still carefully wrapped in its original packaging - a bargain at just £11, including Royal Mail's begrudging trudge. with postage. And, my oh my, if this isn't the very essence of the early 1980s then I'm Boy George's teaboy. With a palette best described as "1982", it dabbles boldly in beige, flirts with brown and laces a grey hue throughout. Its visual appearance is as riveting as watching paint dry, but filled full of coffee in the morning, it gives you a proper Proustian jolt in stoneware. Far superior to any emoji-splattered cup of the 21st century.
