Keith Brymer Jones – Medium Mug – old fart – 350ml

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.

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!
