Made in Stoke-on-Trent, the traditional way

At Xavier Britain, “Made in England” isn’t a slogan we dust off for show. It’s the whole point. Every cup, plate and saucer is made in Stoke-on-Trent, the historic heart of British ceramics. From the decals to the boxes, there are no compromises. No halfway houses. Everything is 100% British, through and through.

Why Stoke-on-Trent?

Because it’s where fine bone china was born — and where it’s still made properly. Stoke-on-Trent has been the home of English ceramics for over 250 years, the place where Josiah Spode first perfected the bone china formula that set the world standard. The city’s unique blend of local clays, skilled craftspeople, and generations of know-how make it unlike anywhere else on earth. Our makers — fettlers, turners, glazers and gilders — carry on that tradition with the same precision and pride. That’s why our fine bone china is light in the hand, luminous in the light and quietly tough in daily use. It’s the difference between “nice” and “that’s exquisite — where’s it from?”

In short...

• Body & Biscuit: Mixed, formed and fired in Stoke-on-Trent
• Glazing & Gilding: Hand-finished in England (steady hands, eagle eyes)
• Decals: Printed by a specialist in Stoke to our colour profiles for razor-sharp detail
• Packaging: Boxes, fitments and tissue all made in the UK (some in Stoke)
• Design: Parsons Green, London

...if it touches your china, it’s British.

What “100% Made in England” means for you

• Consistency: Same clay body, same glazes, same expert hands—collection to collection.
• Sustainability with sense: Shorter supply chains, fewer miles, better oversight.
• Accountability: We know every workshop and every maker on your order by name.
• Speed & service: Need an extra twelve place settings—or a tiny tweak? We can actually do that.

Bespoke? Absolutely.

Monograms that behave. Colourways that match your scheme (not “almost”). Crests that look like heraldry, not clip art. Our UK decal printing means accurate colour management, fast sampling and flawless repeat runs—ideal for private homes, yachts, jets, boutique hotels and film & TV.

Built for real life (and really good tables)

Fine bone china should be feather-light yet strong, elegant yet usable. Ours is all of that—made in Stoke-on-Trent to be enjoyed daily and admired forever. Dishwasher? Yes (be kind to gilding). Camera close-ups? Loves them.
