The collaborative collection is a fine bone china tableware set embellished with black and 22-carat gold, finished with hand gilded details. As with all of 1882 Ltd.’s collections, Lustre highlights the industrial craft skills of Stoke-on-Trent, pushing the levels of complexity and skills.⁠

Kim Thomé has an ability with colour unlike anyone we’ve worked with, in Unity he plays with overlaying colour in forms of silk screen decal and a second firing of hand painted enamel colour. This process allows a depth of colour that harmonises with the design perfectly.

The collections pays homage to the unity of colour as well as the unity of human and machine, balancing all the processes of ceramic creation. Discover the collection in the Archive Sale with up to 40% off.

It’s not so often that we share news like this but it has been announced that the Government has given a £120 million support package for the UK ceramics industry, described as a landmark decision and turning point for the sector.

Ceramics UK Chief Executive, Rob Flello, has noted the investment has the potential to safeguard jobs, drive innovation and create a more sustainable future for our industry.

This is fabulous news for the UK ceramics industry as it recognises us as a key industry for manufacturing and innovation. But more importantly it’s for the people who work within it, we hire 26 very talented potters who are the most incredible team and this backing will hopefully bring support to them and everyone else who is part of this wonderful industry, so it can continue through to the next generations and beyond.
