A Passion For China: A Little Book About the Objects We Eat from, Live with and Love

Molly Hatch

'We eat from them, they warm our hands after a cold walk outdoors, we pull them out to celebrate the births, marriages and lives of our loved ones, we sometimes drop them carelessly or smash them in anger, and then we work to delicately glue them back together. Their familiarity becomes a part of our sense of ourselves, a sense of our home' 

Acclaimed ceramicist, artist and designer Molly Hatch explores the family stories behind beloved items: the bowls and cups we have inherited or chosen with love and care. She brings the history of porcelain, potteries and patterns to life through her stunning, hand-drawn illustrations. A Passion for China is a personal celebration of the everyday beauty of tableware and a tribute to the rich heritage of the vintage plates, jugs and pots that make our homes our own.
