Mustardseed & Moonshine was founded by Kate Carlyle in Cape Town, South Africa in 1992 to celebrate her love of the botanical form. The idea was to make beautiful ceramic flowers that were both usable and lasting, flowers that were meticulously crafted, and yet simultaneously robust and functional. This tea set is a wonderful example of her creativity.
This Tea Set consists of a teapot, cream and sugar and 2 cups and saucers
Teapot holds about 48 ounces and the cups hold 8 ounces.

Since Steven McGovney and Tammy Camarot have been married, they have created a body of artwork that draws on each other's strengths. His sculpture and ceramic background provides reference for the three-dimensional and technical side, while her intuitive sense of pattern helps design the tableware's two-dimensional surfaces.
McGovney designs and slip casts each piece in low-fire white clay, hand finishing it with pulled spouts, handles and sculptural additions. After the first firing, Camarot gains control, painting underglaze colors and delicately scribing highlights. Fired again, the piece is dipped in clear glaze and sent to the kiln one last time.
The result is a functional work of art. Truly Beautiful.
The teapot has a sun on one side as shown in the small photo and a moon on the back as shown in the larger photo. Teaset is a teapot, 2 cups, and a cream and sugar. All hand painted and in a word unique.
