I absolutely love crockery – I might even go as far as saying I am a little bit obsessed.
I have always dreamt of owning a hand thrown set but my budget over the years just hasn’t allowed for it. I even went on a pottery course to see if I could learn to do it myself. Turns out I only came out with a few token pinch pots!
What I love now is that I have a few bits from different designers/high streets that all work together really well as they are a similar style and the colours work as a set so it doesn’t even matter. Plus it means that when I see a piece I love I can treat myself knowing that it won’t clash with a perfect set I already own!
I have scoured the internet for some good crockery options for every budget but the list below is by no means extensive. I would always recommend having a cheeky look in charity shops/car boot sales/flea markets for those one-off hidden treasures as well as some of the shops I mention below.

Moral of the story? There is always something for every budget (although not necessarily with the same quality or provenance). The expensive stuff is always worth checking out for inspiration and maybe even as a treat every now and then. Those items can often last a lifetime.
