Welcome
Welcome to TIME AND TOAST - a capsule collection of small batch, design-led English bone china and paper goods for people who love food, art and type. It's a celebration of some of life's simple pleasures and daily rituals - whether it's a good, strong mug of DAMN FINE COFFEE or a beautiful plate that would be equally at home displayed on a wall, as it would be on your table.
Our Range - fine English bone china
All our bone china pieces are individually hand-decorated and are only ever produced in small batches or as one-offs. We only use English bone china, selected for its beautiful white translucency and simplicity of form and made by hand in Stoke-on-Trent.
Our small batch, hand-decorated English bone china plates make stylish and functional tableware, but they are equally at home hanging on the wall. You can find some additional plates in our ‘new and one-off’ section.
The perfect way to enjoy your favourite drink. Our small batch fine English bone china mugs are available in a choice of two sizes, depending on the design. They are all individually hand-decorated and produced only in small batches or as one-offs.
All our greetings cards are printed on 300 gsm premium matt FSC accredited white card, which not only looks great, but is lovely to write on. They're all blank inside, so perfect for any occasion.
An evolving selection of new pieces and one-offs including espresso sets, tiny bowls, cups and saucers and plates - perfect for a little everyday luxury.
