Why Branksome China is different

 


 


Ernest Baggaley first conceived the idea of inventing a new porcelain body because he was dissatisfied with the products available. He enjoyed the refinement of bone china but was put off by its delicacy, whereas the more durable pottery felt cumbersome and heavy. He wanted a product that gave the light, luxurious feel of fine china but with a durability that meant it could be used every day and after much experimenting and by pushing the materials to the edge of their tolerance he achieved Branksome China as we make it today. A body that is fine and light in weight but durable enough for everyday use in ovens, microwaves and dishwashers.
The History of Branksome China

The unique nature of our porcelain body ensures that drinks stay hotter for longer in our generously sized cups and pots, and our eye for design detail has produced pots with spouts that don’t drip. Our cups, mugs and beakers are well balanced with handles that are both easy and comfortable to hold, we have even been known to make cups and mugs with two handles for people who find holding a cup steady more difficult.


Branksome China is also becoming increasingly collectable and is fetching ever higher prices at auction. We are currently producing numbered limited editions of some of the child figure studies that were popular in the 50’s and are constantly working on new designs that we believe will be the collectables of tomorrow. So with Branksome China you can experience the beauty and luxury of fine china today and know that you are using a design classic that has and will continue to stand the test of time.
