The fact that the first three things other posters touched in their kitchen were mass produced and imported does not mean they do not buy bespoke locally crafted things.

You had an amazing few minutes there touching a glass, eiderdown and oil painting in succession. Must have been a good night.

Bone china mug - England
A Denby plate - England
A kids knife from IKEA - I’m guessing China?
