Each piece of Old Tupton Ware is made to the highest of standards and requires more than a dozen steps from starting with the original master to the finished product on the shelf, first prepared to give a blemish free surface and then fired to 1250 degrees Celsius. The original Old Tupton Ware artwork is then skillfully drawn onto the product followed by hand-crafted tube lining giving the raised effect much admired. Metallic oxide based colours are painted by hand, dried and then repeatedly coloured washed until the desired effect is achieved - that is uniquely Old Tupton Ware. Transparent glaze is applied and the clay is fired again to 800 degrees Celsius to seal the finished product. As each Old Tupton Ware piece is hand made, there will always be small differences from one piece to another which can enhance the product and its collectible.
