Clearance William Morris Strawberry Thief Scented Soap and Porcelain Dish Gift Set Decorative Accents

Artful gifts for the home.

The perfect host or hostess gift, this ribbon-wrapped porcelain dish and lavender-scented soap set is decorated with details from William Morris’s (British, 1834–1896) iconic Strawberry Thief motif. Registered in 1883 and printed about 1917–23 at Merton Abbey Tapestry Works (British, founded 1881), Strawberry Thief is one of Morris’s most famous creations. The inspiration for this kaleidoscopic textile in the Museum’s holdings was derived from the designer’s country home, Kelmscott Manor, where a community of thieving thrushes would pluck the strawberries from his garden.
