Peggy Davies Ceramics Art Pottery at it's Best

As you will see immediately from our new presentation and website, we have a major announcement with regard to a change in the company name. Since Peggy Davies Ceramics took over the Kevin Francis Company we continued to use the name to market Figurines and Toby Jugs. Now, after lengthy deliberation and market research amongst collectors, we have decided that the backstamp should only bear the Peggy Davies Ceramics brand name. I know that you will also be interested to learn, that as a tribute to our founder, Peggy Davies, the renowned modeller, and, of course, my mother, the first figurine introduced under the Peggy Davies Ceramics backstamp will be named Peggy.

The Peggy Davies family business was set-up in 1981 by my mother and myself, where we produced collections of Figurines and Toby Jugs at our workshop on the family farm in Longnor, Staffordshire. The creativity of Peggy Davies was a major feature of Royal Doulton sculptures for many years where she modelled more than 250 different figures. Her artistry was featured in the various models made by Peggy Davies Ceramics and ensured the success of the newly formed Company.

The Company began working with Kevin Francis Ceramics in 1987, making a variety of limited edition pieces. Following the death of my mother in 1989, the business moved to larger premises in the City. New modellers were commissioned to carry on creating the collectable ranges – a policy that continues today. Another feature of the ‘family business’ also continues today as my son Rhys joined me in 1993 and the two of us now run Peggy Davies Ceramics in Stoke-on Trent. Things seem to be going full circle as we return solely to the family name, because as many of you will know, we recently moved into new premises. The planning permission has now come through for the changes we have planned for the building, so it will be all systems go as soon as the work is completed.

Peggy Davies Products are all Hand Made in Great Britain We remain one of the few studios in the UK which produce everything within the United Kingdom and we know that our customers value our Great British products.

I look forward to hearing from you, as you become members of the new Peggy Davies Ceramics Collectors Guild and of meeting many of you when we host our Annual Open Day. Remember to return here often as we are busy developing this site for everyone to enjoy.

To all our collectors and web site visitors, we look forward to hearing from you!

Kind Regards,
