Top tea sets: Tina Tsang’s Blaue Blume

Blaue Blume teacup, £32.95, from Hidden Art shop.
Blaue Blume milk jug, and
Tina Tsang’s perfectly eccentric Blaue Blume ceramics
range is just what the Madhatter ordered for his tea party. The British
designer’s range developed from casting rare one-off pieces of vintage lace to “solidify
the texture of lace on ceramics”. With saucy legs serving as handles, the range
quite literally turns the very British practice of prim ladies taking afternoon tea on its head. The dessert stand is brilliantly mad and is just crying
out for some delicate iced fancies, scones and finger sandwiches. Available from Hidden Art Shop.
