Fortnum & Mason of Piccadilly, London, is one of the most well-known department stores in the world. Often overlooked by its Knightsbridge neighbour Harrods, it sells some lovely bone china. This pair of gold-leaf high tea cups with a strainer is quite pricey, but perfect for those feeling indulgent or for a wedding gift.

The info

£110 for the pair

Available on Fortnum & Mason’s website.
