It has been a busy couple of years for Forest of Dean based pottery Reckless Designs thanks to supermarket chain Morrisons revamping their cafés across the UK and putting Reckless Designs’ brightly coloured, funky teapots centre stage. So far, 8,000 teapots have been delivered to 527 stores.
Each teapot is handmade, hand painted, glazed and fired ready for shipping by Kevin Burke, owner of Reckless Designs, and his right hand person Jacqui who has been painting pottery with Kevin for 21 years. Weekly shipments have been made to Morrison’s cafes ranging from Aberdeen to Penzance.
Meanwhile, the latest contract for the company has involved supplying personalised wares to celebrity chef Tom Kerridge for his bars and restaurants in Marlow and London.
Reckless Designs has been fulfilling corporate contracts across the globe since 1991.
