18 years ago Gillian Greer designed this modern set, a real classic that has not dated at all. The clients who were so fortunate to acquire these sets are still as passionate using it today as the first day they saw it. We used to carry stock in these ranges but presently we only focus on commissioned and/or customized orders.
Gillian received this multi coloured commission the other day. The client envied a family member’s set for years and her husband went through the motions spoiling her with a set of her own. Feeling nostalgic about all these old ranges I felt a post would revive some memories while viewing some of these images.
The design is exuberant, boiling over with life’s positive energies. It demands to be used and shared with happy get-togethers. If you own any of our sets, be so kind to send us some images of you and the family or friends, engaged in lively discussion around our plates or mugs!
These patterns were customized in many ways, patterns were painted with a range of blues, others with browns but a combination of colours were the most glamorous.

Thanks Trudi
People do fall in love with their own customized set. It is something special, created with passion by artists and the set will be treasured for a long time to come.
A client, Lance Milton, phoned in an hour ago, commenting on the quality of the set they have commissioned 8 years ago, the coffee mugs last and last and…
Hope to hear from you soon!
