Father's day gifts: Art deco teaset by Asprey

Strictly for very, very lucky fathers. Or extremely wealthy offspring, anyway. Very expensive, very beautiful, very art deco. Maybe print a picture out for your dad, just so he knows what you'd serve his cuppa in if you won the lottery

A more affordable luxury, this leather case is handmade in Italy by a family-run workshop just outside Florence, using vegetable hand-dyed leather. The same people make some much more expensive accessories for well-known fashion labels

If your father is one of those people who actually likes quirky gadgets, try this. After all, if it's good enough for Rolf Harris, it's good enough for him. If you have to explain how it works to him, it's probably not the best choice.
