"Every measuring cup around, it seems to me, is just stainless-steel functional, and I've always wanted to design these, even before the idea of the range; that's to say, measuring cups that were actually cups, a different colour for each size, rather reminiscent of my grandmother's tea-service. I wanted them to look beautiful hanging from a hook in the kitchen as well as being practical. In the States they just use them for solid ingredients; I find them invaluable for measuring liquids as well."
