Keep it long, treasure it long.

A mug that you'll want to use forever

Start your day with a cup of coffee on a dreamy morning, and relax with sweets and tea during the afternoon break. Before going to sleep, use hot milk or hot cocoa to dissolve your tiredness and give yourself "good work" today. Perhaps it is the existence of your favorite mug that makes such a day take for granted and gently snuggles up to give you a sense of fulfillment.
There are many types of mugs out there. Meanwhile, the mugs of Burleigh, a historic pottery maker in England with an afternoon tea culture, are all made in England from the soil. Despite such commitment, you can enjoy it with your eyes and feel the unique special feeling that you can taste because it is handmade.

Not only coffee and tea but also soup

Burleigh tableware is not only practical, but also enjoyable with the eyes, making the table gorgeous. Since it is about 284 ml, it is a nice capacity for those who are warming up, such as pottage soup and corn soup as well as standard coffee and tea. This time, we have prepared two popular mugs.

The black-based, chic and cool impression of "Black Legal Peacock" is a pattern specially unveiled in 1913 for King George and his wife Mary. It depicts the elegant peacock that appears in "The Oriental Fairy Tale of Choosing the King of Birds". It wasn't produced in recent years, but it was reprinted in 2014. Since it is a historical pattern, the copper plate has also deteriorated, so it was re-engraved for this reprint. There is an elegance that has no other monochrome contrast.

A bright blue "Blue Calico" that catches everyone's eyes. Burleigh's representative design is popular for its high-contrast colors. In Japan, Prunas, which is called "Niwazakura", is designed with the image of falling on ice.

Burleigh tableware, which is bright and brilliant in everyday life, has a good impression as tableware used by visitors, so it is recommended for birthday gifts, gifts for those who are welcoming a new life, and celebrations of marriage and moving.

Making products that inherit traditional techniques

Burleigh, which feels good old England, has some antiques on the market, and the reason is that there is a traditional manufacturing method like a print called "copper plate transfer" that has been going on for 200 years.
"Copper plate transfer" is also a craftsman's job to make the plate itself, and it seems that it takes more than 6 weeks to hand-carve a fine pattern on a roll-shaped copper plate using various needles and complete one pattern. ..
It is made by applying ink to the copper plate, copying the pattern on flat paper, and then copying it to three-dimensional pottery before the ink on the paper dries. Every process is done by a dedicated craftsman, and Burleigh is the only manufacturer that has inherited the technology to date.
In addition, the soil is also made in the United Kingdom, and we are particular about making raw materials. The soil used is constantly stirred in a liquid state by a device called a slip house, and when it reaches an appropriate concentration, it is poured into a plaster mold. After that, it is stored in a drying rack for several days, and when it dries, it is removed from the mold and unglazed is completed. The unglazed state, which uses a sponge to smooth the surface one by one, also involves a very delicate process.
In this way, the gorgeous pattern of tableware, which is created one by one by hand, has the warmth of being made by humans, which is not in mass production in this era. The shades of color and the position of the patterns differ in the continuous patterns, but please imagine making such things.

Blessed with rich soil and climate

Burleigh was born in Stoke-on-Trent, the village of British pottery.
Founded in 1851 (Victorian era) by Frederick Burgess, William Leigh, it has a history of more than 170 years, blessed with abundant coal and pottery as fuel, and abundant soil and climate suitable for pottery. Using the traditional technique of "copper transfer" from the time of its founding, we have mainly made tableware necessary for the custom of English tea culture. The factory is now designated as an important cultural property and has become a nationally cherished building. In manufacturing, we chose a method that does not waste raw materials even if it takes time, and respects the earth. We are making things with gratitude.

The warm Burleigh tableware, which is carefully made by many people, is a tableware and manufacturing that we want to inherit 100 years and 200 years from now.
