Staffordshire tableware is famous world over for its quality of products. Its heritage, now over 250 years, boasts some of the greatest master potters of all time such as Josiah Wedgewood who invented bone china.
Anyone visiting Stoke-on-Trent today will still be able to see traces of how vast the Staffordshire tableware industry once was, as many of its bottle kilns still sit, now derelict along the landscape.
Katy Potts “Utterly English Teaware” collection of tea accessories is pleased to be a part of this great and long heritage. Made in Longton (one of the famous 5 Towns)
For those who know a little about the history of Staffordshire tableware, this was also home to many of the great teaware producers of the early 20th Century, such as Shelley, Grafton and Tuscan ware. In this, the heyday of English Teaware production there were over 200 companies producing tea ware alone. Many of them survived purely on exports.
Take a look at our vintage collections to buy some of the tea sets from that era - Tea for Two (also housed at Liberty department store) or in our Mixety Matchety range (as featured in the Sunday Telegraph style guide, Stella Loves)
