Laura Ashley "Elveden"

Laura Ashley Elveden has a fresh but traditional floral look, influenced by an earlier  antique Edwardian chintz textile from the Laura Ashley repository, using large painterly blooms in deep burgundy, plum, blue and soft cream tones. The flowers are placed quite boldly across the pieces, giving the pattern plenty of colour and movement while the white background keeps it bright and easy to use.

The design has the recognisable Laura Ashley feel, decorative, feminine and slightly country-house in character, without being overly formal. On cups and saucers the floral sprays appear both inside and outside the cup, and around the saucer rim, making the pattern especially attractive as tea ware.

When matching Elveden, the key details to compare are the large burgundy and blue floral decoration, the white ground and the shape of the piece. As with many modern retail tableware ranges, it is worth checking the pattern name and backstamp carefully, as similar floral designs can appear across different Laura Ashley collections.

As a discontinued Laura Ashley pattern, Elveden is usually chosen by customers looking to replace a broken item, complete a tea setting or add matching pieces to an existing set. Availability depends on what comes back into the pre-loved market, so individual pieces may appear only occasionally.
