104 Legacy in Bloom B ritish heritage design firm Morris & Co. has teamed with Williams Sonoma on a collection of tabletop and kitchenware, due out mid-September. Seven iconic patterns from the Morris & Co. archives adorn a range of utensils, crockery, and linens.

The collection with Williams Sonoma features some of Morris' best- known designs, such as Bluebell, a bold floral based on the woodland flower and created in 1870; Marigold, a dense, delicate foliage pattern from 1875; and Pimpernel, a swirling, energetic design William Morris Pillivuyt Basketweave porcelain dinnerware and Golden Lily linens, $15 to $40.
