David Mellor's phenomenally popular children's cutlery was introduced in 1975. Now there is a children's tableware set in the same vibrant colours made in robustly child-sized porcelain.

Each piece has been carefully worked out to function well for children just beginning to eat independently. The plate has a deep rim to help the child control food. The multi-purpose bowl is nicely sized. The beaker is shaped to be easy for a child to hold.

Even the packaging has been designed with children in mind. The inner boxes are colour-coded in red, blue and yellow to match the contents. The three smaller boxes are packed in a bright yellow outer box. Children will find their tableware fun to unpack. The three pieces are individually back stamped with a colour coded dot.

Suitable for microwaves and dishwashers.

Boxed set comprising:

• Blue Mug 170ml, 8cm

• Yellow Bowl 14.5cm

• Red Plate 21cm
