details

Sailor’s Farewell is the second collaboration between Wedgwood and renowned; award-winning interior designer Kit Kemp; whose style is about whimsical storytelling; color and imagination. The collection is derived from a fabric she designed for Chelsea Textiles; inspired by a beautiful drawing by John Craxton depicting a Sailor’s wife waving farewell. Blending Kit’s love of craft and simple; lyrical folk art; the sailor’s loved-one is waving goodbye on a rock with her scarf flying in the wind. As she waves; the witty motifs around each china piece show the sailor’s adventures on the high seas; both above and below the waterline. The rust red sails of his sailing ship pass by whales and merfolk fishing; there are two little dogs alone on the high seas; seagulls flying above the lighthouse and the enticing sight of a house under a palm tree on a faraway desert island. Below in the depths is a frogman; a curious octopus and the flashing fins of many fish. The delicate pale blue linen finish of the original fabric design is discernible on the tableware with a stronger blue and 22 karat gold hand applied lining around the rim.
