New Ceramics Room Opens

We are really excited to announce the launch of the new Ceramics Department today.



For all of you who are collecting or simply admiring Tina Tsang's sexy legs tea cups you'll be pleased to see the new additions to the range - from the Teapot to the Cake plates!



And after the popularity of, Nottingham based artist, Katrin Moye's ceramics at our Tin Shed fair in Easter we have finally put a collection of jugs together on the site. Her work is just beautiful and so tactile - not surprisingly then, all her patterns are inspired by textiles.



Katrin's ceramics hint at a warm cosy nostalgia as the textiles are all given personal names to suggest their origins. Ingrid is a jug which celebrates her mother, textile designer Ingrid Moye's, 1970's embroidered designs and Johnny reminisces on her father's shirt which she vividly remembers from when she was a child.



I think there is nothing more welcoming then visiting someones home and seeing a collection of ceramics on a dresser. It somehow just makes me feel all cosy and at ease. And if I were to see Katrin's and Tina's wares on show, I would also know that the host was a person of great taste to boot!

The collections are available now in the Ceramics Department.
