A Storm is Brewing
Storm in a Tea Cup by John Lumbus is a timeless automata design, initially produced using second-hand bone china tea cups. Contemporary Dutch and English versions of “Storm in a Tea Cup” have been developed in collaboration with Laikingland and ceramics specialists, Royal Delft and The New English.
John (Lumbus) and the team at Laikingland are working away on hand crafting these pieces to the highest possible standards and we are pleased to say that they are on schedule for release in July. Due to the amount of work involved we are keeping the editions to only 12 pieces in each design and they are available directly from the Laikingland online shop.
