The brief
The primary challenge was to craft a collection that embodied the grandeur and sophistication of Blenheim Palace while reflecting the highest standards of craftsmanship. This collection needed to stand out in the competitive gift market, encapsulate the palace’s essence, and meet customer expectations for premium, high-quality souvenirs.
The collection was manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent, a city synonymous with fine china production for over 250 years. Renowned as the "World Capital of Ceramics," the region boasts a history of skilled craftsmanship and innovation in pottery. Adding to the collection’s splendor, intricate decals were created using gold and blue ceramic metallic pigments. Each decal was meticulously affixed by hand and fired at high temperatures to bond permanently to the surface, ensuring durability and richness of color.
About the client
Blenheim Palace is one of England's largest and most iconic stately homes. Built in the early 18th century, it is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace was gifted to the 1st Duke of Marlborough in recognition of his military victories and has since been home to generations of the Spencer-Churchill family. Blenheim’s rich history and stunning gardens make it a cherished destination and an ideal muse for a collection of fine bone china.
