Chessell Ware
Our own cream ware pottery which is totally hand made and hand decorated in our studio on the Isle of Wight is known as 'Chessell Ware'.

One of the first items ever launched (2004) under this name was the Island Mug. These contemporary straight edged mugs featuring an illustration of the Island from west to east by local artist Alan Rowe, remain a popular item in our Gift Barn.

Find out more about the artist here.

Island Mugs are on sale in our Gift Barn at £10.95 (large) and £9.50 (small). Chessell Tiny Jugs at just £6.95 make a super gift and are proving to be one of our best sellers. Come in and see this ever expanding range of cute little collectable jugs which include new designs all the time - everything from Lavender, Mimosa and Cornflower, Christmas Holly, squirrels, hearts, shells, paw prints and of course our lovely Strawberry design!
