Lowestoft Porcelain available in Bungay

The Greenhouse now stocks the famous Lowestoft Porcelain, the original is collectable worldwide.

With one pattern in particular being called the Bungay Pattern the shop was the obvious choice as an outlet of the Porcelain.

The 18th Century factory at Lowestoft was thought to be the first producer of holiday souvenirs with their 'Trifle from...' range of pieces. The Trifle pieces appear from 1790's and not only do they bear the name of Lowestoft but those of surrounding towns such as Bungay, Holt and Wangford. These pieces are extremely scarce.

The so called Bungay pattern is one which is found on several shapes and specifically on a fine mug with the inscription 'A Trifle from Bungay'.

Bungay Pattern, Birth Tablet and Tea caddy with Jug from Lowestoft Porcelain

It is important to us in the 21st century owing to the close proximity of the town of Bungay to Lowestoft, a mug has been produced for a recent Mayor of the town, as a gift from her husband marking the end of her term.

Birth Tablets in the style of the original, which will record your child's birth details, are a pleasure to give and will become a family heirloom.

Almost anything can be hand painted on to the Porcelain. Dates, Anniversaries, Pictures, Corporate Gifts are just a few ideas. Wedding Coasters, Wedding Cake Knives, keepsakes etc.

Today The Greenhouse stocks the Bungay, Blue & White Bird & Sprig and Curtis Pattern Ranges.
