WE GOT IT, BITCHES
English ceramics have shaped global taste for over 300 years, blending craftsmanship, innovation, and artistry. In the 18th century, pioneers like Josiah Wedgwood transformed pottery into fine art, developing new materials like creamware and Jasperware, while Staffordshire potters led the way in mass production. Porcelain, once a secret of the East, was perfected in English kilns at Chelsea and Worcester.
The Industrial Revolution of the 19th century brought ceramics to every home, with companies like Spode and Minton creating iconic styles such as transferware and bone china. As factories grew, the Arts and Crafts Movement revived traditional skills, valuing the beauty of the handmade.
In the 20th century, English ceramics embraced bold new designs from artists like Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper. Studio pottery flourished, with figures like Bernard Leach blending ancient techniques with modern spirit.
Today, England’s ceramic tradition is thriving — with heritage brands preserving classic styles and a new generation of potters pushing creative boundaries. Whether it's a fine bone china tea set or a hand-thrown mug, English ceramics continue to inspire and delight across the world.
Welcome to the rich story of English pottery — where history, art, and craft come together.
