OLD TUPTON WAREThe technique to ‘tube-line’ pottery dates back centuries to skilled craftsmanship seeking expression through art and design.

Old Tupton Ware is the brand given to this collection of ceramics, usually tubelined, designed in the UK and produced in the Far East under strict quality control and supervision. The name originates from the village of Old Tupton in Derbyshire and was chosen to reflect the peace, tranquility and beauty of the collection as observed in the idyllic village setting. Most of the design work are produced in the UK but Far Eastern designers have also been used, thus oriental influences may be observed in some patterns. Some may recognise similar designs as other tubelined ceramics exist but Old Tupton Ware remain independent and immitations are not uncommon so collectors should beware. Jeanne McDougall’s designs may also look familar as she has designed for other reputable ceramic companies in the past
