There is a particular pleasure in setting a summer table: the first jug of garden flowers, the clink of glasses in the sunshine, the gentle decision of which pieces to bring together. At Nicholas Mosse, we have always loved tables that feel collected rather than overly arranged - generous, personal and full of life.
Our Lawn pattern was created with this in mind. Offered in a palette of red, green, yellow, dark blue and light blue; Lawn brings a simple, softly patterned foundation to the table. It gives the eye a place to rest, while allowing our florals to sing. Think of it as the linen shirt of your pottery cupboard: easy, elegant and endlessly useful.
For a bright summer setting, begin with Yellow Lawn or Green Lawn as your base. These shades bring warmth and freshness, especially when paired with bowls, jugs or serving pieces in Wild Flower Meadow, where tiny hand-sponged flowers create the feeling of a field in bloom. For a richer, more traditional table, Red Lawn sits beautifully beside floral patterns with rosy tones, adding depth and a lovely sense of continuity.
If your summer style leans cool and airy, Light Blue Lawn is a gentle companion to softer florals, while Dark Blue Lawn creates a more grounded contrast. Mix dinner plates, side plates and serving bowls across patterns rather than matching every piece. The result feels relaxed and considered, as though each item has found its place over many happy gatherings.
Every Nicholas Mosse piece is made to be used, loved and returned to again. Handmade in Ireland, each plate, bowl and jug carries small variations that make it unmistakably its own. Durable enough for everyday meals, beautiful enough for summer celebrations, and made with sustainability and longevity in mind, these are pieces that become part of the rhythm of home.
A summer table does not need to be perfect. It needs colour texture, food to share, and pottery with a story.
