Rick Stein Coves of Cornwall Bone China Teapot
Part of the Rick Stein Coves of Cornwall tableware range, this Rick Stein Coves of Cornwall teapot is made of bone china and dishwasher and microwave safe.
This collection's alluring abstract patterns were designed by the students of Cornwall's Falmouth University in competition. The winning entry was based on Rick Stein's memories of growing up in Cornwall and is loosely based on the legendary coves of north Cornwall. All artwork was painted by hand on watercolour paper, showing the depth and colour variations of the sea.
The clean design of the bone china forms complements the subtly changing shades of each cove, resulting in a unique and highly collectable range of coastal tableware.
Choose the perfect china
All our china is made from clay and kiln-fired for durability. Except for pieces with special trims, everything is dishwasher-safe. Below are a few options to consider when choosing your perfect china.
| Earthenware | Strong and practical, earthenware is often a little thicker than other ceramics, making it ideal for everyday use. |
| Stoneware | Fired at high temperatures, stoneware is very tough and heat-resistant. It comes in a number of different glaze finishes. |
| Porcelain | Affordable yet luxurious, porcelain is renowned for its translucency. Fired at high temperatures, porcelain has an extremely tough glazed surface, making it durable. |
| Fine china | The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china. Like bone china, it's strong, translucent and delicate, and creamier in colour. |
| New bone china | A type of porcelain with added calcium oxide to achieve a similar aesthetic as bone china, but without animal bone ash. |
| Bone china | White bone china is the strongest and most translucent ceramic. Though it looks delicate, it's tough enough for daily use and is usually dishwasher-safe. It contains at least 35% bone ash. |
