by crafts people who have vivid imaginations and specialise in extraordinary
designs.

There's teapot animals galore, a typewriter, piano bar, movie basket, the Queen's writing desk, trains, planes & automobiles! A toilet, English Bobby Hat, chocolate box, how about a rabbit in a hat, or a storm in a teacup?
