Blue and orange glazes blaze on these Cornish stoneware bowls, made by Gill Thompson, of Sytch Farm Studios, Shropshire. Breakfast bowls cost £54 for three and a set of two breakfast bowls and three tapas bowls is £75. All are thrown, turned and glazed by hand, and they’re dishwasher-safe. The more often we hold something in our hands, the more important a role it plays in our everyday contentment. This pushes plates, bowls and mugs high up the spending agenda and suggests that we need to smash our habit of auto-buying a basic white set from Ikea and think about investing in handmade tableware.
