This series of English bone china plates was inspired by the scenes of the Harrow Ladies Luncheon Club from John Betjemen’s film “Metroland” (1970). I adore the sketchbook-like illustrations and comical statements on etiquette at the bottom of each plate.

We all probably experienced our parents and/or grandparents giving us their two cents about proper table manners as kids. These dishes are a funny and adorable reminder of these classic childhood moments. They are also not-so-subtle reminders to keep our mouths closed when we eat!

Emma Houlston freelances for design agencies and is based in London.

'A series of plates inspired equally by meals with my gran and scenes of the immaculately dressed Harrow Ladies Luncheon Club as featured in John Betjamen' s Metroland (1970). Either follow their rules or flaunt a total lack of respect by eating your TV dinner off one of these porcelain beauties.' (narratively.eu)

These plates can help you lose weight as well, having to look at those judgmental faces will surely help you to not go for seconds! Don't you agree?
