Video – Hand-Painting the Wife of Bath

We’re loving the buzz around the launch of “The Wife of Bath: A Biography” by Oxford Uni Chaucer specialist Professor Marion Turner. The book is published by Princeton University Press & has had incredible reviews. And lots of you will know that we love anything that celebrates & demystifies the many women who have been airbrushed from history.

So to celebrate we filmed our very own Wife of Bath figure being painted so you can see how we bring our own amazing version of this renowned medieval woman to life. We know lots of our collectors love seeing how we actually make and paint things here, so this is a short 1 minute insight into Chaucer’s most famous pilgrim being hand-decorated by one of our talented team – using freehand brushwork. You can see how the colours change after she’s been fired for the second time.

Discover more about the professor’s book by visiting the Princeton Uni website here and if you’d like to see more about the 37 figures in our hand-made Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales Collection do click here.

Large thanks to the team at House & Garden who were so kind as to include us in one of their 2022 Christmas Gift Guides.

And guess what they picked? Well our timeless Cottage Stripe Design of course. As many of you will know we nearly always have a long waiting list for this decoration and it remains a firm favourite with every age group – in some cases we’re now supplying the fourth generation with our stripey pots!

some families we are now suppling the fourth generation!

Knowing that your straight lines have been hand-painted by a human being is a thing to behold every time to use one of our pots and if you’re in Rye, you may even catch someone actualy painting them in front of you.
