LATEST NEWS - SEPTEMBER 2025

This season we have had record sales, record deliveries and record problems- it has been an emotional journey!
​
Key updates:
1. Back in Stock:
Summer Mist and Princess pots  50 sets available, all sizes  NOW
Lotus bowls   (due 21st September)    62 sold 60 available for order NOW, delivery within 2-3 weeks

2. Deliveries: we are on target to catch up with outstanding orders over the next few days, there are only a handful of customers awaiting delivery of their purchases across the country and in Europe.  The exception will be Lotus Bowls where outstanding orders will be despatched first when the new container arrives- 21st September. 

3. Clearance Sale in September:
Malvern Autumn     Sept 26th-28th

• our most beautiful glazed pots  HALF PRICE
• our Dragon pot ironware range  HALF PRICE
• our stonelike garden statutory    HALF PRICE
• lots of beautiful old pots   HALF PRICE OR LESS  
• Coalbrookdale garden furniture- 15% off 

4. APPOLOGIES: our delivery service has been not so good with constant changes of schedule. This has been due to the loss of our logistics administrator on the third day of Hampton Court’, of three drivers and constant issues with vans. Out of our control but still not good enough for an RHS supplier, as we have been advised on numerous occasions!! Agreed.  

5. Looking forward:
New Website launch  October (with integrated stock control )
Global Village promoting female craft goods from around the world for Christmas sales
Three new potteries from Asia and Africa for 2026
Christmas fairs co-ordinated through local schools and colleges to fund projects of their choice and provide educational travel opportunities for them. We will let you know of students near you trying to ‘make a difference’. Support them.
And, most excitingly, we are staring to link product to project. So, for example, 10% of lotus bowl sales will fund scholarships for Hill Tribe girls (Muong) in Vietnam to go to university. Their only way out of poverty and the ‘love’ markets frequented by Chinese men.

Our slogan going forward: Changing the World, One Sale at a Time
