Quirky teapots for all occasions including Royal Celebrations
Carters of Suffolk – based at Stonham Barns Park – is selling official Coronation Mugs to go alongside its quirky teapots – that are just right for afternoon tea for a royal occasion.
Its teapots are still enjoying an uplift in sales as people are choosing ceramics as luxury presents, making more of an occasion of afternoon teas, starting collections and adding more style to their homes through interior makeovers.
King Charles III is set to be crowned on 6 May in an historic Westminster Abbey Service and as teapots become news again – with the onset of street parties and afternoon tea parties – the artisan business has added commemorative mugs to its product offering.
Says Mark Gillam of Carters of Suffolk, ‘We are expecting the mugs to be snapped up as for the occasion as commemorative items are now much in demand. It’s always very exciting to witness royal occasions – for us and for everyone overseas too – and this is a big one!’
‘There will be parties and memories will be made over tea and cake. It’s what we do in the UK, and we do it well with beautiful ceramics. People will be gathering tea sets together and – as a business in ceramics – we are stocked up and ready for the rush.’
‘Our teapots bring joy to people – and we are very happy that they do!’
