A Victorian ironstone quality mark — a crown within a scrolled ribbon — sits alongside kiln spur marks and heavy crazing, all pointing the same direction: genuinely old, genuinely hand-finished. The crack running through the base was fired in under the glaze at the factory itself rather than broken later, which makes it a record of how the piece was made rather than a flaw to work around.

We've done our best to photograph and describe each piece as accurately as possible, though with antique ceramics, a little craquelure and discolouring is part of the charm rather than a flaw to hide. Every piece is packed with the same care we'd want it to arrive with, and our shipping cost reflects that.
