Children's China : I do a lot of commissions for babies and children because it is a timeless gift that will become a family heirloom and it's always special to have the child's name and personal details on the china. Here are some samples of the most popular pieces I've painted. If you don't see the perfect present, please get in touch we can have a chat about a unique design for you, with no obligation.

Breakfast bowls: A traditional bowl with the design of your choice around the shoulder. Personal details can be included for a special occasion gift, presented in a white glossy box. The bowls can be matched with eggcups, side plates and cups to gradually build up a unique collection of tableware.

Eggcups and saucers: Highly detailed and finely painted, eggcups and saucers have become one the most popular birthday and Christening gifts I make. Children love to see their name on a train or a ship, or next to a Twinkle Toes sparkling fairy. These are traditional pieces that create unusual gifts.

     
Patchwork Plates: Handpainted onto 11" dinner plates, these designs are usually created for a special occasion and are presented in a strong, white glossy presentation box. You can choose each 'patch' and the colour scheme. Patchwork plates are a great way of combining lots of different pictures or symbols to present a cohesive and fun design.

Baby's Bookcase: These are highly personalised ceramic tiles measuring 10" x 8". Other sizes available on request. The whole bookcase is painted to reflect the names, hobbies, jobs etc of the baby's family. You can choose your own relevant book titles, dress the teddy in appropriate head gear, have the birth date circled on the calendar.. the whole concept is yours. On this tile the family were Scottish, hence the bagpipes, dad was in the army so there is a small toy soldier, and mum is a chef so the teddy has the chef's hat and wooden spoon.

       
other gift ideas... The pictures shown represent a sample of my work. There are so many china pieces available, from trinket pots to candlesticks, mugs and money-boxes, if it can be made from china you can have it painted! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like some ideas for a really special piece.
