A Brief History

The company was formed in 1983 in Bradford-on-Avon; a town situated on the Kennet and Avon Canal, by Donna, a commercial artist (BA Hons. Fine Art), and Keith, a chemistry teacher for 19 years (BSc Hons. Chemistry). Since that time we have exported our china to miniature enthusiasts and collectors all over the world. Our current location is in Devon, only a few hundred yards from the edge of Dartmoor ( the setting for the Hound of The Baskervilles). It is truly a cottage industry.

All of the shapes and designs have been created by us based on full sized ceramics. The originals, molds, and decoration are made by us and most items are marked with our trade mark, consisting of the superimposition of our initials D and K to yield a B. All of our china is fine, thin, precisely to scale, affordable, and collectable. The tea pot has a hollow spout and removable lid, and the cup handles are quite delicate. Because they are manufactured from porcelain and fired to 2400 degrees Fahrenheit, and then glazed and fired, they are excellent for china painters who wish to decorate a custom set for themselves or a friend.

Availability!!

We supply dollshouse miniature shops worldwide and also sell by mail order, and at miniature shows in the United Kingdom. Except for the few items which we make in 1/24 Scale, everything else is in 1/12 scale which is currently the standard for this popular hobby.
