This flagship store is in a restored theatre. The ceramics, favoured by many Australian restaurants, are purchased direct from makers. Affordable plates start at around $15 – or half that in the tempting sale section. There are also teapots, vases and other sets, including mugs featuring faces of former sumo wrestling champions.
