Handmade Cup and Saucer by Katie Almond

Charming, tactile and made to be used and enjoyed, this porcelain cup and saucer by Katie Almond brings together function and storytelling in one beautifully crafted piece. Handmade in her Rutland studio, each work begins as a blank canvas before being carefully built up with drawn motifs, pattern and nostalgic detail, creating ceramics that feel both personal and quietly evocative .

The softly fluted cup is decorated with delicate green trailing leaves, balanced by subtle patterning and finished with a lustrous gold handle that adds a gentle touch of opulence. Paired with a coordinating saucer in classic blue and white, the piece nods to traditional ceramics while offering a fresh, contemporary sensibility, something Katie Almond is known for through her use of vintage-inspired imagery and hand-drawn elements .

Unlike purely decorative pieces, this cup and saucer is fully usable, designed to be part of your everyday rituals, whether that’s a quiet morning coffee or an afternoon tea moment. Almond’s work often bridges this space between art and function, creating objects that are as practical as they are expressive, and intended to be lived with and enjoyed .

Each piece is entirely handmade, meaning no two are exactly alike. Subtle variations in pattern, tone and finish are part of their charm, reflecting the artist’s hand and process. There’s a warmth in these details, something that elevates the experience of use into something a little more special.

Perfect as a thoughtful gift or a personal indulgence, this cup and saucer captures the essence of Katie Almond’s practice: nostalgic, detailed and full of quiet character.

A functional object, thoughtfully made, bringing beauty to the everyday.
