As fine and smooth as egg shells, these bone china bowls and tea lights from British designer Caroline Swift are paper thin, beautifully translucent, yet incredibly strong.

Each piece is unashamedly unique in shape and form, as they are all hand-crafted by Swift herself. All the items for sale reflect her philosophy of 'slow design', where a sense of pleasure and pride is taken in the production and the quality of the pieces.

Swift recently moved to Barcelona - I'm eager to see how her new environment will inspire her!
