CAROLINE SWIFT
If you thought interiors gifts just weren´t right for Mother´s Day (we must admit that ´things for the home´ aren´t usually what we ask for here in the Wales at Home office - rather a bottle of our favourite Jo Malone bath oil), then think again this year as what more could a yummy mummy ask for than a beautiful keep-sake from knitwear-turned-ceramics designer, Caroline Swift?
After enjoying an international career as head of knitwear for Benetton, Caroline changed direction and turned her attention to creating a successful solo business after becoming disillusioned with the constraints of commercial design; her work not only displaying a talent for creating timeless but enchanting ceramics but her ability to take a practical item and make it beautiful.
We simply adore these unique and mesmerising ceramics made in England; from Caroline´s bone china bowls - perfect for serving sugary jams or delicate sorbets at the dinner table (from £18) - to these elegant ceramic tea spoons that could be saved for a special afternoon tea treat or coupled with the bowls for a dramatic table setting, (£48 for a set of 2). Caroline´s collection also stretches to signature cashmere knitwear and a mesmerising range of ceramic flower garlands (from £99).
All of Caroline´s ceramics come beautifully wrapped in hand-made felt bags, tied with a porcelain rose and a gift tag embossed with the message” with love”, we ask ourselves could you get a better gift if you tried?
