John Smedley x Matthew Foster - Pair of Cups
| Pair of Cups |
To celebrate London Craft Week, we have commissioned a curated selection of works from ceramic artist and QEST scholar Matthew Foster. The collection combines Matthew’s signature interests of form, surface, gesture of making and functionality with the colour blue which is iconic to John Smedley having featured in our branding since 1784.These cups have been lovingly hand crafted by Matthew in his St Ives studio and are exclusively available to John Smedley customers. Available in pairs, they come in a range of designs and shades of blue with the artist’s decorative use of slip and glazes making each creation truly unique. Due to their handmade nature, each pair will vary slightly.

- Assessing sustainability of alternative packaging materials to plastic.
