Olio Duck Egg Jug - Barber and Osgerby

Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby established their London-based design studio in 1996 and have since undertaken many high profile projects including the design of the London 2012 Olympic Torch, a £2 coin and have most recently been appointed to design the new fleet of Crossrail trains for Transport for London. They bring a deep understanding and respect for British craft to their work with Royal Doulton, and wealth of experience. Their multidisciplinary portfolio, spanning furniture, architecture and industrial design, echoes Royal Doulton’s vision to create collections combining both intelligence and function, making it the perfect partnership. Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby spoke of the new collection: “We set out to design a tableware range of eclectic shapes, materials and textures. The collection is reminiscent of timeless found objects that have their roots in the manmade. We imagine people will use the range in an adhoc way and enjoy combining it with existing pieces. This concept moves away from the conventional idea of buying a set of matching tableware.”
