Make Christmas magical this year with Burleigh Pottery
Handcrafted in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent, Burleigh’s products are designed to elevate the festivities and imbue your home with the magic of Christmas. Elevating each of the 12 days of Christmas and beyond, lay your Christmas table with handcrafted tableware built to last.
First introduced in 1913 Regal Peacock was revived a century later with a refreshed copper engraving, restoring the pattern’s rightful place in Burleigh’s range. In 2021 Regal Peacock remains a firm favourite, and is available in black and classic Burleigh blue. It is a fitting end to Burleigh’s 170th anniversary year to re-imagine this iconic pattern in a deep, bottlegreen, creating a contemporary update to a timehonoured design.

Conway Stewart – the British pen
Using a fountain pen, or a luxury rollerball, to write your Christmas cards is one of the delights of the seasonal festivities. Keeping in touch with friends and family, handwriting those special notes, all seem to flow better when using a 'real' pen.
And after Christmas, again a pen to write those 'thank-you' notes is more meaningful, and more treasured than a text!
Conway Stewart has been making pens in Great Britain since 1905 – famously, Winston Churchill used them. With over 100 different pens on our website, there is something for everyone. See the Churchill Heritage range, the Seamus Heaney Pen, the Shakespeare, and then there is the Doctor’s Pen, the Accountant’s Pen and the Lawyer’s Pen.
