Lewis, balding and intense, is a thick-tongued speaker. But he is widely revered as a living saint, a man of courage and commitment who was always on the front lines.

Nearly the whole crop of high-design coffee services and teapots marketed since 1980 seems to have been plucked from an avant-garde Viennese workshop sometime before...
