British Industry is dead, long live British industry.
This new edition is a response to the perceived wisdom that Britain no longer makes anything. While the traditional, heavy industries have long been in a steep decline, a few are still struggling on and in some cases enjoying a resurgence.
Though coal mining, ship building, and much of our motor industry has been lost, the UK is not simply a nation of shopkeepers - or more latterly, IT consultants and telecoms engineers.
Happily, elements of traditional industries, such as Stoke-on-Trent's potteries are beginning to see new growth as they recognise the need to protect the wealth of experience inherent in over two hundred years of ceramics manufacturing.
We have long-championed the British ceramics industry and for this super limited collection, have turned to Caverswall China, Royal-warranted producers of tableware for their manufacturing.
Made of fine English bone china and screen printed in rich colour and bright gold, the 34cm platter and 10cm trinket dish are available as an edition of 50.
Now also available in black on our standard mugs.
