Since 1793
We know lots of our customers like to group these little fellas together, so this spring/summer we’ve produced a limited edition run of our popular Ceramic Puppies & Dogs in three (oh yes) new colourways. And collectors will be pleased to know this is the first time they’ve been painted in these colours.
They’re designed to compliment our focus this season on Flamingo Pink, Cobalt Blue and our fresh new Paris Green.
 
New our “All White Collection”…
This elegant new colourway for Rye Pottery sees our “Sheep”, the Ram & Ewe, alongside the Billy & Nanny Goats sporting glossy, white textured coats accompanied by soft charcoal faces and detailing. Our classic Ducks are also available as part of the All White Collection, as well as the timeless ceramic Owls, originally modelled by our post-war co-founder Wally Cole.
As ever each individual piece is hand-made using traditional slip-casting techniques and then hand-painted, decorated and initialled by our talented paintresses. Click on the links above to see them all in more detail.
There are plans afoot to extend this range, so watch this space.
 
Ok, so we’re singing our own trumpet, but if we didn’t love them, well, we wouldn’t decide to include them formally in the Rye Pottery Exotic Animals Collection now would we?
So, new for Autumn/Winter 2013, we’d officially like to introduce our new colourway for our Cockatoos – Jade with Pink Wing or, Pink with Jade Wing.
Like all our animals, while these are sold singly, we think they’re great fun as a “Mismatched Pair”. And of course they’re still available in Charcoal & Radiccio too.
 
We’ve belatedly spotted a lovely shot of our Rye Vixen in the April edition of The English Home magazine.
Our popular ceramic foxy lady makes an appearance in a feature about Christine and Kevan Stevenson’s charming cottage in the heart of Derbyshire’s Peak District.
With the help of architect and local builders, the couple spent months combing two cottages and adding an extension, to charming effect.
Described as an “oasis of light and calm” by the magazine, the house features a calming, pale palette of colours.
Perched above the cooker in the Stevenson’s light, airy kitchen, our hand-painted Rye Vixen – decorated in a soft Coral sponge with gentle touches of Leaf Green and a Chocolatey brown – adds a subtle touch of colour.

Whilst you are wrapped up in your winter woolies here’s a sneak peak of a new design we are working on for 2013.
Part of our new all-white collection, this cosy coat is achieved with a decorating technique we call Tracery.
Now for a black face…
