Royal Purchase
April 2011
The mugs and plates we purchase from you were bought by Camilla Parker Bowles and are also being used for our very successful Royal Wedding Limited Edition Range, which have been featured in The Royal Wedding Magazine, Country Living Magazine, Woman & Home, Period Living, House Beautiful, Majesty magazine and Channel 4 News.
Two mugs have been purchased as a gift for the Royal couple themselves.
Here's an extract from the article in the Daily Mail, February 17th 2011, by Richard Kay.
It could be a wedding gift for Prince William and Kate Middleton — or it might simply be for Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall’s breakfast table.
Either way, a tiny Hampshire ceramics studio is celebrating the sale of a set of hand-painted crockery after Camilla fell in love with it at a charity fair in Wiltshire.
Gabriella Shaw, who runs the studio from a log cabin in Durleighmarsh, says: ‘I had actually ducked under the stall looking for something. When I emerged, I was surrounded by Camilla and all her attendants.
‘She told one of her ladies-in-waiting she would like to buy everything in my bluebell design. She promptly spent about £240 on jugs, cups, plates and bowls. It was such a surprise, and it really made my day.’
