Keith Brymer Jones – Espresso Cup Set of 4 – espresso – 100ml^ Keith Brymer Jones | Mugs & Cups

Keith Brymer Jones created the Word Range 25 years ago. The collection has grown to over 400 products including mugs, bowls, plates, serveware and table accessories. For every piece produced, a word or phrase is debossed and then coloured by hand. Finally, both the glazing and firing produces a super-white, hard wearing, finish. The pieces are perfect for gifts. And we have words and/or phrases to cover almost every occasion.

Keith Brymer Jones trained as a ballet dancer as well as wowing crowds as the front man of a punk band. Keith spent his youth exploring his passion for the arts before following his calling into the pottery world. More recently Keith has added author and presenter to his string of talents. On the popular Channel 4 show The Great Pottery Throw Down, Keith has become increasingly known for his role as the teary judge.

The first creation in the Word Range was the bucket mug. The shape of Keith’s trusty old water bucket that he used when throwing on his potter’s wheel was what inspired the shape. The shape of the mug still remains unchanged after 25 years. Who knew?

The design stage of each new product and the perfect prototype starts on Keith’s potter’s wheel in his UK studio. The full production then takes place in China. Unquestionably, a country with a deep-rooted history in expert ceramic production. Keith works closely with a team of highly skilled craftsmen to perfect the delicate production process. So they ensure each mug, bowl or jug matches the same style and high quality of his original design. Keith is proud to manufacture his ceramic ranges responsibly in China. In light of this, he has made a fun video to let everyone know here. It is Keith’s dream to bring production home to the UK. Fingers crossed; this dream may not be too far away!
