Handmade in the UK | Vintage China & Fine Bone China | Delightfully Offensive
Vintage china with a second chapter.
Every piece in the Plate Cupboard has already lived a life.
Once they served cake, biscuits with a brew or the occasional chippy butty. Now they serve laughter, conversation and stories instead.
I don't restore vintage china to make it look new again.
I simply give it another chapter.
The Plate Cupboard
Made to be displayed.
These vintage plates are for decorative use only and aren't food safe.
They're made to be displayed, make people smile, start conversations, say what you're thinking and show a little bit of who you are
Designed for the china.
The same phrase might appear again, but it will never look exactly the same.
The colour, typography and layout are all chosen to complement the vintage china it's going on. Sometimes it's the pattern, sometimes the shape, sometimes the tiniest little detail that guides the finished design.
Every piece is created to feel like the words have always belonged there..
