Burleigh Blue Prunus Etruscan Jug
An Etruscan jug from Burleigh's Blue Prunus collection, hand-printed at Middleport Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent. The Prunus pattern features flowering branches in blue across the body — a more restrained design than Burleigh's heavily-patterned Asiatic Pheasants and Regal Peacock collections.
Each vessel is moulded, printed, and glazed by hand using copper plate engraving and tissue transfer — the technique Burleigh has used since 1851.
Ideal as a statement piece on a sideboard, for serving water or iced tea at a long dinner, or set on open display with fresh branches in season.

Burleigh
The Burleigh story can be traced back to a July day in 1851. A hundred and seventy-five years later, the work continues at the same Victorian factory, decorated by hand using a 19th-century technique no other factory in the world still uses. Slow, considered work, shaped by a reigon that has defined English ceramics for the better part of three hundred years.
