V&A Mythical Beasts Reflect Teacup and Saucer Set - Discontinued

Richard Brendon

£105

Mythical Beasts is inspired by rare and highly decorative patterns from both Thomas Rose Coalport and Miles Mason. By bringing together these unusual designs and adding in an eastern-inspired, surreal background, Richard has re-imagined Coalport's mythical creatures in a particularly striking way. At first glance these beastly dragons look somewhat menacing but upon closer inspection it becomes clear they are really rather friendly. Indeed, in East Asian symbolism, dragons are thought to bring good fortune, something which may not have been appreciated by 19th Century porcelain designers. This

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as RICHARD BRENDON LIMITED, number 11467476. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
