Object of Desire: Bone China Pendants Inspired by Patisserie

March 21, 2023

For the sweet toothed amongst us: a two-piece lighting collaboration by Feldspar (the Devon-based pottery helmed by Jeremy and Cath Brown) and Berdoulat (the Bath housewares shop helmed by Patrick and Neri Williams).

It is cast more finely than our usual wares to ensure the light glows from within and shares the characteristic wobbly profile of our main collection.”
