Albion Nord decided that the Radnor Tableware Collection – which includes dinner plates, side plates, cereal bowls, soup bowls and mugs – should be made from porcelain, since the first English porcelain was produced in Chelsea. As such, the tableware draws on heritage, not only of the Barracks, but of the very area itself. Yet the choice was rooted in more than mere nostalgia. As Sally explains, ‘Porcelain is just the perfect kind of clay for the project. It gives a sort of freshness, and it has a wonderful touch. I feel it sings, especially in the sunshine. It’s a wonderful piece of pottery to hold, and to feel, and to eat off.’
