Burleigh Pottery Expands North American Availability of Handcrafted British Ceramics

Burleigh Pottery, a distinguished British ceramic brand with over 170 years of heritage, has expanded its availability to collectors throughout the United States and Canada. This strategic expansion introduces North American markets to the brand's meticulously handcrafted tableware, all produced at Middleport Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, England. The company maintains traditional manufacturing methods including tissue transfer printing, a specialized technique that creates patterns with exceptional depth and character unmatched by modern printing processes.

The brand's commitment to sustainable, small-batch production and maintaining a UK-based supply chain provides consumers with a distinctive connection to craft, place, and purpose. Burleigh's signature blue patterns, particularly the Blue Calico and the revived Blue Prunus collection based on a 1913 design, have established the company's reputation for blending quiet luxury with cultural heritage. These collections showcase the brand's dedication to preserving historical designs while maintaining contemporary relevance in the tableware market.

Collectors can explore Burleigh's heritage and distinctive collections through the company's online resources at https://www.burleighpottery.com/pages/all-made-here, which details the manufacturing process and brand history. The various blue pattern collections, including the Shades of Blue series, are available at https://www.burleighpottery.com/collections/shades-of-blue. The revived Blue Prunus collection, recreating the 1913 design that has become iconic within ceramic collecting circles, can be viewed at https://www.burleighpottery.com/collections/blue-prunus.

This North American expansion represents significant access to authentic British craftsmanship for collectors who previously faced limited availability of these handcrafted ceramics. The move demonstrates the growing international appreciation for artisanal tableware produced through traditional methods rather than mass manufacturing. Burleigh's approach to ceramic production emphasizes quality over quantity, with each piece reflecting the skill and attention to detail that has characterized the brand throughout its long history in the pottery industry.
