1882 Ltd
Our ceramics are to be used, loved and desired. They bring enjoyment, be it in dining, decorative objects or art pieces. Each collection has a different spirit but they always stay true to our core beliefs.
1882 Ltd. was formed in 2011 by Emily Johnson and her father, Christopher, who are fourth- and fifth-generation potters. The name of their company references the deep roots of the Johnsons’ heritage, for 1882 was the year that their ancestors founded Johnson Brothers in Stoke-on-Trent. 1882 Ltd.'s pieces are sold all over the world and sit in the permanent collections of London's Victoria and Albert Museum and Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris.
Producing pieces made primarily from fine bone china, earthenware and stoneware, 1882 Ltd. draws upon five generations of expertise as well as the incredible skill of industrial potters, craftspeople, engineers, scientists, modellers and mould makers in order to push the boundaries of the materials it works with. Progressive design and industrial craftsmanship is at the heart of each piece that the studio produces. Its collections, which include works of art as well as tableware, are designed in collaboration with pioneering artists and designers such as Barnaby Barford, Max Lamb, Faye Toogood and John Pawson.
