Keith Brymer Jones – Large Mug – with Love – 500ml

All Keith Brymer Jones Word Range designer homeware, kitchen accessories and tableware are as practical as they are elegant. It follows Keith’s design philosophy: ‘to create simple yet stylish products which are pleasing to the eye, practical in the modern home and, above all, make people happy!’ What a lovely thought from our master potter. You can really see what he means by these super white porcelain designs.

It was Keith Brymer Jones‘ personal experience of growing up with dyslexia which inspired the creation of his iconic Word Range. Keith initially viewed words as shapes and considered them the perfect design concept to decorate his ceramics! In fact, the first word he chose for the range was “hot”. For Keith, the form and shape of the letters were just right. Linking the word to hot drinks was a happy coincidence!

In 2012, Keith released his autobiography titled “A Boy in a China Shop: Life, Clay and Everything”. Keith has had a roller coaster of a journey to where he is now. The book starts with a ball of clay and takes you to places like London, Stoke-on-Trent, Kent, China & Wales. He subsequently went on a joyful book tour around the UK to a sell-out crowd. Twice!

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!
