Description

A delightfully detailed Paul Cardew “Tailor’s Shop” mini teapot, capturing the nostalgic charm of a traditional dressmaker’s workbench. Measuring 17cm from the tip of the spout to the tip of the handle and 12cm high, it makes a thoughtful gift for a sewing enthusiast or a charming addition to a Cardew collection.

The glossy brown cabinet has a wood-effect finish, rows of miniature drawers with gold-coloured knobs and open shelves filled with colourful fabric bundles. Its green worktop holds a cream dressmaker’s mannequin with a gold-coloured finial, a blue pincushion on a warm-toned stand, miniature scissors and a roll of rose-patterned fabric. A cream floral-decorated rectangular piece completes the busy sewing scene.

A matching brown spout and curved handle frame this little workbench. Display it on a sewing-room shelf or in a cabinet, where the tiny tailoring details bring memories of fabric shops and handmade creations to life.
