# Lesser & Pavey Strawberry Thief Egg Cups

**Lesser & Pavey Strawberry Thief Egg Cups** carries Strawberry Thief, designed by William Morris in 1883 and printed at his Merton Abbey works. Two thrushes face each other among strawberry plants and scrolling foliage, the fruit picked out in red against a deep indigo ground. Morris took the idea from the birds raiding the fruit nets in his own kitchen garden.

### Product Highlights & Features

-   **The pattern:** Two thrushes face each other among strawberry plants and scrolling foliage, the fruit picked out in red against a deep indigo ground. Morris took the idea from the birds raiding the fruit nets in his own kitchen garden.
-   **Made to be used:** Ceramic egg cups for a boiled egg at breakfast - the pattern scaled down to fit the smallest piece on the table.
-   **Part of a range:** Lesser & Pavey's licensed William Morris range runs across trays, coasters, mugs, egg cups, teapots and glassware, so a table can be built up piece by piece in the same pattern.

**About Lesser & Pavey:** Founded in 1971 by Ronnie Pavey and still run from Leonardo House in Dartford, Lesser & Pavey is one of Britain's best-known giftware houses. Its licensed William Morris range puts the original Morris & Co. patterns onto pieces meant for daily use rather than display.
