Mabel Lucie Attwell Boo Boo Jug

In 1926 Shelley launched a teaset designed by the famous children's illustrator Mabel Lucie Attwell which was intended to accompany other nursery ware china designed by her. For the first time, special shapes were developed rather than just decorating traditional ones. The teapot is a mushroom house, the sugar bowl another spotted mushroom and perhaps the most famous piece of all, the Boo Boo milk jug. A green elf stands to attention giving a salute, his arm forming the handle.
