Pride of Place

Cathi Jefferson box 1

Cathi Jefferson is one my favourite potters; I eat my breakfast from one of her bowls nearly every day, and use her cups and other pots daily too. One of Cathi’s teapots lives with us –  we fill and drain it 4 or 5 times a day (we drink a lot of tea).  Somehow we have ended up with a couple dozen of her pots over the past few years. I featured her work more than a year ago in this post.

The box in these photos is one of Cathi’s and belongs to friends. It occupies pride of place in their house on this ancient and remarkable piece of furniture.
