Sky Check paints the MacKenzie-Childs checkerboard in soft pale blue and white. It is the lightest of the blue checks, gentler than Royal Check, and it suits a bright kitchen or a spring table without feeling seasonal.

Every square is painted by hand in upstate New York, the same way as Courtly Check, so Sky Check sits easily next to the black and white original or alongside the other check colors.

In the kitchen, the Whistling Tea Kettle, 1 Quart Tea Kettle and French Press are the everyday pieces, and the Small and Medium Kitchen Canisters and the Butter Box keep the pattern on the counter. For entertaining, the Three Tier Sweet Stand, Large Compote and Serving Platter are made for a shower, a brunch or a birthday. The 4 Cup Teapot and Spoon Rest make easy gifts.

Dekado has been an authorized MacKenzie-Childs retailer since 2010.
