This travel set holds a ceramic teapot and four cups in an oval, zipped carry case. The pale pink teapot has a lobed body, a little like a small melon, and an orange-red knob on the lid. On its side, a small bird sits on a branch beside a yellow flower motif. The teapot measures about 10 × 10 × 7.5 cm, and the set weighs about 1.2 kg.
Four cups in one case
With four cups, four people can share a pot on a family outing or an afternoon in the garden. Two of the cups carry the same yellow flower motif, while the other two are plain pink. The cups have no handles and narrow towards the base, so at home you can store them stacked inside one another. Outside, the case is dark blue with a brown strap.
There is no need to wait for an outing. Bring it out for afternoon tea at home, then pack it back into the case. If your kitchen cupboards are full, the flat case fits on top of a wardrobe.
Small when packed
Every piece has its own hollow inside the case, including the lid and the teapot's removable metal handle. Closed, the case is slim and flat, and you can carry it in one hand by its brown strap.
Soft pink with an old-fashioned feel
The pale pink and the delicate flowers give the set a gentle, old-fashioned look. The lid knob and the rims of the cups are orange-red, which ties the soft pink together. A spring tea in the garden or an Easter table would suit it too. If you are looking for a present in this style, the carry case means there is nothing to wrap. Wash the pieces by hand and do not scrub the painted motif.
