Collection: Ivy Lea

Ivy Lea. Not a rose in sight.

Royal Albert produced this pattern in the 1950s into the 1960s at their St Mary's Works in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent. It came on the Avon and Malvern shapes, that luminous white bone china the English potteries did better than anyone else, and it brought something quite different to the shelf: trailing ivy in deep and pale green, small white pendant flowers, and a composure that the more romantic patterns simply don't have.

Each pendant begins with a carefully chosen fragment of genuine Royal Albert Ivy Lea bone china. A piece of vine caught mid-curl, a leaf cluster in two shades of green, a small flower at the edge of the frame. Set into a hypoallergenic aluminum frame, finished in gold or silver, with a hand-formed wire bale at the top. No two are the same. The pattern sees to that on its own.

Ivy Lea has been out of production for decades. Pieces still surface at estate sales and charity shops, cool and green and entirely unbothered. We find them, choose the best fragments, and make them wearable.
