Burleigh Blue Calico Plates

Add a touch of class to dinner times with this charming plate in traditional Victorian style. Burleigh handcrafts pottery in England using traditional skills that gives its wares a subtlety & individuality that modern methods lack. Established in Staffordshire since 1851, Burleigh is the only pottery in the world to continue the centuries old technique of tissue transfer printing. Taking seven years to master, each piece is hand decorated by Burleigh's’ skilled artisans for you. Every piece of Burleigh ware is made at The Middleport Pottery, its home since 1889. Recently restored by The Prince's Regeneration Trust, one of HRH The Prince of Wales’s Charities, grade II* listed Middleport Pottery was ‘re-opened’ last year by his Royal Highness on one of his frequent visits to the factory. Burleigh is an authentic ‘Heritage Brand’ whose wares are made by hand in a time honoured, unhurried way. We create pottery of unique individuality and charm you will want to bring home. Burleigh is an English tradition, crafted for today. Burleigh's’ statement design since the 1960s, Calico was inspired by 19th Century indigo coloured fabrics. Quintessentially English, Calico is the essence of country living, yet smart enough for town. Each piece is handprinted by skilled artisans who train for seven years, making every example a unique testament to time honoured craft skills.
