Coffee is a lot more than just a drink; it’s something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup. Gertrude Stein

{HISTORY}

Bachelor button flowers are known by several other names  - cornflower, ragged robin, and blue bottle to name a few. This dish pattern is also known by a few names too - Versatile, which refers to the dish shape, TST - which is the abbreviation for its manufacturer Taylor Smith Taylor, and also Boutiniere - which is a similar pattern to Bachelor Button but is it's own separate design and line of dishware altogether. 

Versatile launched at Taylor Smith Taylor in the 1950s. It featured smooth shapes and rimless edges for a more modern, sleeker look, unlike anything the pottery had produced before. Bearing many different patterns within this style,  the Versatile Bachelor Button pattern debuted in the 1960s and was offered in full sets of matching dishes up to 93 pieces. 

Curvy and round, this creamer has the cutest shape. Both feminine and masculine, it is a great choice for households that like a vintage pattern but don't necessarily want something ultra dainty. Made of a thicker, more solid ceramic, it feels more substantial in hand and the color pattern offers neutral choices for mixing and matching with solid colors in grey, black, silver, teal, and pink.
