British Invasion!

british_invasion-1

The past few years have seen an influx of British culture in Canada. As Montreal's British "Hot Spot" we though it only fitting that we have a section reserved for the country that inspired our store.

Wade Ceramics has released a new line of "Dignity" ware products.

It has been specifically designed for individuals suffering from dementia and Alzeheimers, but can also be used for those who have suffered from a stroke or other mobility reducing afflictions.

By using particular colours, and fashioning the dinnerware with certain weight and shape conditions in mind, Wade has created a line which enables individuals to maintain their independence longer by giving back the ability to serve, and feed themselves.
 
The product is made from Vitrified Earthenware with added Alumina for extra strength, and comes in three colours: White, Yellow and Green. All items are available in all colours.
 
Lead free, all dinnerware is also dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe.

Polish pottery from Boleslawiec is probably one of the finest pottery produced in the world. Polish pottery is extremely durable, high-fired, non-porous stoneware dinnerware that can go straight from the microwave/oven to the table to the dishwasher. Our fine-quality handmade pottery table wares are renowned for their beautiful hand-finish, original style and high practicality. Polish ceramics have an individuality and "flavour" that is appreciated for its art and quality worldwide.

Boleslawiec Polish pottery line is classified as high-density stoneware, a very hard product shaped from opaque, white clay of superb quality, which is resistant to chips and breakage. The dishes are completely safe for use with food - they contain no harmful substances. Polish pottery stoneware does not contain cadmium or lead.

This high quality pottery is hand-formed and hand-decorated. The ornaments are painted using the punch technique, unique to Boleslawiec ceramics. Decorative motifs are applied to the surface of the pottery objct with small stamps soaked in paint. Different types of stamps are used to apply patterns on a single product. The number of individual decorative motifs achieved in this way can reach several thousand. The vibrant colors are chosen according to Polish custom producing a great diversity of brightly hued wares. One piece compliments another regardless of design

Gluggle

Another creation by Wade, each Gluggle Jug is designed as a fully functioning water jug but has its own sound effects! At 3/4 full,when being poured, each jug will gluggle merrily.

Glug Glug Jugs were originally made by Thomas Forester & Son in Staffordshire in the late 1870’s.  However, most people will associate these jugs with Dartmouth Pottery, who originally produced a fish shaped water jug which they called ‘Gurgling Fish Jugs…..a novelty which always attracts attention’.

A special pair of jugs were made in 1958 for presentation to the Queen and Prince Philip on their visit to Britannia Naval College to present New Colours.  The Commanding Officer of the college commissioned the jugs which were 9” tall, glazed green and embossed with the Royal insignia and the date 28th July 1958.  This gift undoubtedly helped the popularity of the jugs, and they became great collector’s items.

Gurgling jugs were intended for use as water jugs – they inherited their name due to the sound they made when liquid was poured out.  They were also used as advertising items by breweries, and over the years hundreds were made to advertise ‘Plymouth Gin’.

That means your basket offers the best of the English chocolate, the most buttery shortbreads, the most scrumptious biscuits, the finest British teas…in short, the most unique assortment of sweets and treats this side of the UK.

Last-Minute and Long-Distance Gifts

If you can’t make it to the shop, we can still offer gift basket options, All you have to do is tell us how much you’d like to spend on a basket and we can, with some guidance from you, put together a uniquely Bramble gift for that special someone. We can also arrange to ship it anywhere in Canada!
