Magic Garden
Susan allegedly designed this fantastic, futuristic pattern, based on what sort of vegetation she thought might be spotted on the moon. Bearing in mind she designed this just after the first moon landing in 1969, it is no wonder she was inspired. This was the age of space travel! This Magic Garden design follows on from Susan's famous Magic City design and is one of her most exciting and flamboyant patterns and one of our favourites! This dynamic design comes in just the one colour range of a blend of greens, blues and black on a white ground, and has the most amazing 3D effect. Ferns and seed pods seem to dominate the design and there is a gorgeous little bird hidden amongst the plants if you look closely. It was produced on the Cylinder shape as tea, coffee and dinner ware items.
