    • 1882 Ltd.
    • Big Vase 1 & 2You can never have too many flowers. The question is how big can the vase be? Big Vase starts life as a solid block of plaster that is hand carved by hammer and chisel into the shape of the vase. A three-part hollow mould is created from the carved plaster form allowing multiple vases to be slip-cast in fine bone china or black earthenware for Black Vase 1 & 2. With all stages of the process being done by hand, the size of the kiln and the immense stress the fine bone china undergoes during firing, size plays a critical factor. Big Vase challenges the strength of the potters, the physical properties of the clay, and the technical capabilities of the pottery.
    • Cast BowlCast Bowl is conceived as a quiet landscape in ceramic. Glazed in the palest of hues, the play of light and shadow generates endless small shifts of tone across its contours. The piece draws on a particular set of architectural preoccupations – with proportion, line, volume and the precise way in which mass engages with an underlying surface – combining apparent simplicity with rigorous geometry.
    • Ceramic ColumnPhotographer, artist and designer Martyn Thompson continues his series of Penny vases stacked together to form sculptural columns. After being moulded and slip cast by 1882 Ltd.’s master potters at their base in the Wedgwood factory in Stoke-on-Trent, the muted, abstract patterning has been hand applied by Thompson using only his eye and instinct to guide the decoration.
    • FlowerFlower is an exceptional piece not only in design and scale but also for the joy it brings to the beholder. Slab built by Amy J Hughes, Flower was then transformed into a slip cast mould.  The six-hole vase is slip cast in earthenware and then coloured slip is painted by 1882’s master potters. The piece, which is mammoth in scale, is then fired  leaving the exterior in a matt muted palette.  One side is a stunning purple finished with black while the reverse is a sunshine yellow meaning it can be displayed depending on the mood as well as the flowers.

The collection includes one-off earthenware creations by Bruce, including vases, bowls, platters as well as tableware.
    • Jesus & The PopeRobbie Williams debuts four imaginative, dynamic and technicolour ceramic artworks. Inspired by two drawings by Williams of Jesus and The Pope, the pieces have been brought to life by the masterful hands of 1882 Ltd.’s potters based in Stoke-on-Trent, not only the historical epicentre of British pottery but Williams’ childhood hometown.
    • LilyfootLilyfoot (they) is Heath’s first limited-edition exhibition piece with 1882 Ltd. Lilyfoot stands at 3ft high and 1.5ft wide, comprising of a mythical creature hand crafted from stoneware, protected under a stalk that is punctuated with 3 decorative stoneware leaves embedded with glowing orbs (there is also a glowing bubble at the end of Lilyfoot’s trumpet). In addition, a giant fragile spoon has been hand moulded then cast and painted, inspired by one found by Heath from an African shop at the Ridley Road Market in east London and a favourite Italo Calvino short story entitled ‘The Distance of the Moon’ which made Heath imagine the spoon scooping up a loose pearl that Lilyfoot had dropped from the surface of the moon. The result is not merely a sculptural lamp and a decorative spoon, but two unique creations born from one of the most inventive minds of her generation.
    • Penny VaseForming part of the Icon Collection the Penny Vases stands true to the ethos of the collection, large in scale, complex to make and limited in number – each vase is exceptional and unique. Working with a hand thrower in Stoke-on-Trent we have pushed the bounds of the thrown pot. The vases are left to dry for 6 weeks and after first firing Thompson then works his magic in hand decorating each vase using his exquisite colour palette. Each piece is unique and each vase a testament to the beauty of the industrial craft that resides in Stoke-on-Trent, five generations later.
    • Places That Build Their DreamsForming part of his takeover of Sotheby’s Public Café on London’s New Bond Street in September, British-Nigerian artist and designer Yinka Ilori MBE presents ‘Places That Build Their Dreams’, a limited-edition trophy.
    • PositiveThe concept for this collaboration with Snarkitecture was to reveal aspects of the technical process used to create fine bone china. Positive reflects the simple geometry of a cylindrical vase and plays on the fragility and solidity of fine bone china. The edge of Positive’s cylindrical form appears as a thin surface, while inscribed into its surface is an unexpected interruption. A small volume is excavated from the side of the vessel, leaving an irregular textured surface that plays on the idea of a broken vase while contrasting with the smooth cylindrical surface of the piece.
    • PotatoConceptual artist Bruce McLean has previously created a body of work on the humble potato with a series of artworks and sculptures. Following on from the Tangerine created in 2017 for an exhibition within the Victoria and Albert Museum, Bruce has peeled two potatoes which 1882 Ltd. has in turn made into a limited edition of 100 fine bone china potato sculptures.
    • PrickLeah Jensen, the ‘anti-digital’ artist-maker, has brought a punk aesthetic to 1882 Ltd. with her Prick collection, a bold, avantgarde spiked limited edition collection, consisting of a bowl and vase. Marking a distinct departure from her studio work, Prick’s forceful presence and industrial production is a direction that Jensen has been wanting to explore for some time. While drawing inspiration from the look and feel of the Palaeolithic inspired pottery her mother and aunt made as a hobby when she was a child, Jensen has brought to these new pieces her love for all things Punk. A feat of engineering in themselves, with a complex geometrical structure of the spikes, Prick has been left unglazed to maintain the crispness of detail and the depth of colour. With all 164 spikes being hand placed individually by our master potters in Stoke-On-Trent, Prick is the culmination of months of intensive work. Marrying Jensen’s incredible creative vision with the expertise and skill of the UK’s ceramics industry, Prick effortlessly blends a rebellious Punk aesthetic with contemporary ceramics to create a statement piece that wholeheartedly encompasses both Jensen’s and 1882 Ltd.’s radical spirit.
    • StackStack begins a partnership between Paul Smith + 1882 Ltd. and forms part of an on-going relationship. Each piece in the Stack Collection is unique making each Stack a work of art. Stack is a special series of vessels – appearing as a stack of plates, yet functioning as a vase, with each ‘plate’ hand glazed in colours inspired by Paul Smith’s iconic stripes. To produce Stack requires a complex process from making each individual stacking element of fine bone china, through to the highly skilled colour matching and application. On making each plate, after the first kiln (1250 C), they are then glazed and fired again (1060 C). They are water jet cut to provide the vase cavity, hand glazed in each one of the 40 colours of multi stripe and then fired again. The elements are then put back in the stack and placed in the kiln for the third time and fired again, which allows the glaze to fuse together the elements to create the finished Stack. Finally a hand painted burnished gold piece completes Stack.
    • Stegreif1882 Ltd. collaborates with German ceramicist, Johannes Nagel, to create the Stegreif Vases collection. Each piece is made from fine bone china with coloured glaze applied by hand making each vase original whilst running along the same design directive.
    • TangerineBruce McLean invented the ‘Tangerine Test,’ to assure himself that the quality of jug or painting was excellent. Simply put, if the object looked good with a tangerine, then it passed the test and was ready to display. However these ceramic tangerines turn the test on its head. A compact piece of conceptual art by the acclaimed artist Bruce McLean, these tiny oranges are good enough to display alone and the perfect addition to one of McLean’s ‘Garden Ware’ platters.
    • TrystIndustry meets the studio maker head-on in this collaborative project between ceramicist Amy Jayne Hughes, the V&A and 1882 Ltd. Aiming to restore the humble vase to its former status as the Ultimate Accessory, the collection elevates the functional object to a design motif and a symbol of the ancient world… Amy Jayne Hughes was the V&A Ceramics Resident from April – September 2015. Gleaning inspiration from the museum’s comprehensive collections, she married elements of her own practice with traditional hand-decorating techniques and the skills and expertise of Stoke-on-Trent’s finest industry. Her mid-18th century-style porcelain vase is more appealing for today’s consumer. The decoration, taken from sprig moulds carefully cast from museum objects, pays homage to the originals whilst finding a new place in contemporary culture. Designed in London, produced in Stoke, each slip-cast fine bone china vase is unique in its finishing, organic rim and painterly splashes, worked with a knowledge of material and history of the subject.
    • VenusDrawing – and the process of mark making as a method of recording memories – has always played a pivotal role within fashion designer and couturier Giles Deacon’s practice. Acting as an emotional conduit for displaying an idea, a thought – indeed a collective vision of worlds, dreams and consciousness – Deacon has interpreted the relationship between drawing, line and form with the techniques of figurine making, a tradition forged in the 18th century in Stoke-on-Trent, home to 1882 Ltd. Deacon has delved deeply into the precision required to convey the finer details of character and personality when transforming multiple drawings and research into an object modelled in clay, while also how to embody each piece with a narrative piece conveyed through drawing and painting decorative motifs drawn from the natural world, historical references with a twist of paranormal, and a palette inspired by the Lake District.
