Fortnum's Coronation Teaware

 

Teatime has been the most important of all our daily rituals for three centuries: so it's no surprise that we've chosen to mark the joyful Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla with a new collection of glorious bone china teaware.

 

Made for Fortnum's in the historic homestead of English pottery, Stoke-on-Trent, by our fellow royal warrant holders, Caverswall China, each of the Fine Bone China pieces in our Coronation range is handcrafted using traditional, time-honed techniques. 

 

Featuring designs, motifs, typography and gentle beasts created by the talented British artists we selected to work on our Coronation Collection, once each piece is made, it's then hand-decorated by Caverswall's resident artisans. From start to finish, nothing is rushed and every detail carefully considered. 

 

Certain to become the crowning glory of countless teatime ceremonies to come, they're undoubted heirlooms in waiting, and just the things to add a little elegance to your table as you raise a toast to Their Majesties. Anyone for tea? We'll get the kettle going...

 

 

 

The Coronation Teapot

 

A celebration of the fine art of taking tea and a tribute to the enduring excellence of traditional British craftsmanship, our two-cup Coronation Teapot features the same elegant Royal Oak tapestry seen across our Coronation teaware. Handcrafted by Caverswall, its distinct and beautiful shape is inspired by the pots which proved most popular in the year His Majesty King Charles III was born. Perfectly weighted and a pleasure to pour, it's the perfect centrepiece for your teatime table.
