JB Gumpy's Pair of Cups & Oval Plates S Set

A lovely set for a wedding gift.

The cups are conveniently sized between a mug and a traditional coffee cup, ready for morning coffee, afternoon tea, soup and other everyday moments.
The generous handles sit comfortably in the hand, perfect for unhurried time together.

The slightly deep oval plates feature a charming rabbit and pig. Carefully balanced space around the illustrations lets the pieces look their best when serving food.

The rabbit, long regarded as an auspicious animal, is paired with the pig, a symbol of good fortune in parts of Europe. Together they make a meaningful gift for a couple beginning life together.
Tableware that quietly adds a warm story to everyday meals for two. A thoughtful gift for a wedding or the start of a new chapter.

Mr Gumpy’s Outing

Mr Gumpy's Outing and Mr Gumpy's Motor Car are among John Burningham's best-loved books. Their stories of animals and children meeting Mr Gumpy and sharing adventures have delighted generations.
Our biggest design question was how to express Mr Gumpy's world through tableware. The animals and children in the stories have distinct personalities, yet naturally become friends.
To capture those warm relationships, we chose memorable characters for the oval plates, creating pieces that feel like small scenes taken from the books.

The books' appeal lies not only in their lovable characters. Lush plants, watersides and richly coloured skies also help tell the stories. POTPURRI layers traditional Japanese ceramic colours with modern Western ceramic colours, drawing on the qualities of each to create depth and dimension unique to ceramics.

And where is Mr Gumpy himself?
Mr Gumpy appears on the cup and Round Plate S. Deep greens and warm sunlight evoke his generous, welcoming nature. Beyond the character himself, colours and landscapes convey his presence.
We imagined the peaceful moment at the end of the story when everyone gathers for tea and treats. Tableware brings people together, conversation begins and smiles follow. We hope this collection can become a quiet part of those everyday moments.
At teatime and at the dining table, Mr Gumpy's story continues.
