A Spot of Cream

The cosy cablestitch sweater has long been a wardrobe staple of rugged fashion traditionalists. Now the look has migrated to the tabletop with the new Aranware Collection from Northern Ireland. Named for the famous Aran Isle stitch patterns, the serving pieces offer the same sturdy practicality as their predecessor, while trading on the popularity of classic creamware. And just as neutrals are the foundation of every wardrobe, the dishes offer simple styling on their own, plus lots of opportunity for dressing it up by mixing with colour-ful pieces. $36-$62.

Tea a Magazine

Keeping it Irish by Bradford Ross

This winter my editor gave me a pleasant assignment: to interview entrepreneur Ann Mullan-Karakatsanis, the creator and designer of Aranware®, pottery inspired by Aran Irish traditional sweaters with patterned that seen to reflect elements of Celtic art. The pottery's name is derived from the Gaelic word cara (friend) and the beginning of her last name.
