Design Driven Ceramics

Made in Stoke-on-Trent, England, by a 5th generation family

1882 Ltd. champions contemporary ceramics imbued with inventive and innovative design, the skills of age-old craftsmanship, striking form and a modern-day playfulness.

1882 Ltd. champions contemporary ceramics imbued with inventive and innovative design, the skills of age-old hand craftsmanship, striking form and a modern-day playfulness.

Our ceramics are to be used, loved and desired. We want them to bring you enjoyment, whether it is for the kitchen or dining table, as a decorative object, a collectible art piece or a gift for family and friends.

Each collection has been injected with a different spirit but will always stay true to our core beliefs. Quality. Longevity. Traditional Skills. Modern Thought.

Every piece draws on the manufacturing heritage of Stoke-on-Trent, embodying the past, present and future of the British ceramic industry. Incredible human skill is inherent in everything we do – there are no less than 10 processes to make a mug, passing through many caring hands – but while we are keen to show how something is made, we also value the importance of good design and superlative quality that stands the test of time.

We are always prepared to test the bounds of materials, thoughts and forms.

WE MAKE WHAT WE LOVE.
