This little knife has just been posted out to Surbiton.  It was bought by a grateful customer who lost his original one that was given to him as a small boy after the war in 1953.

A slop bowl is one of the components of a traditional tea set. It was used to empty the cold tea and dregs in tea cups before refilling with hot tea, as there were often tea leaves in the bottom of the cups. Not so many are used for this today as teapots fell out of fashion with the invention of the good old tea bag.  There is still a good use for the slop bowl not a million miles away from the original use.  I have a couple by the kettle and coffee machine, one for used tea bags...

Back in the times before single use plastic and cling film, lidded serving dishes were the thing.  Ideal for keeping flies out of your food, equally as good for storing left overs in. The serving dishes look great on your table for both inside and out doors eating.  Some of the colours and styles are right on trend now and mix and match well with modern plates. Help to cut down on single use plastics and reduce waste by buying preloved.

Still busy adding new stock to the shop, it's going to be a long process.  Keep checking back to see what's new.

We are so excited to be opening our Happy Catt online shop!
