Item Description

A beautifully ornate and colourful pot with lid, decorated with relief mounted flowers and the pot configured to resemble a bird with a bird mounted on the lid.  This unique item was designed and created by the Zulu artist Miriam at the Ardmore factory in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa

The story of Ardmore began 40 years ago, in 1985.   Fée Halstead started on a journey teaching ceramics to a talented group of rural people on a farm in the remote corner of Kwazulu-Natal.

Ardmore is derived from the name of the first farm Fée lived on in the entrancing Champagne Valley in Kwazulu-Natal.

Today the studio is home to over 70 African artists whose ceramic works are recognised as modern-day collectables by auction houses Christies, Bonhams and Sotheby's

Ardmore works in collaboration with the French fashion house, Hermès, and Cole & Son of the UK.

Each piece of Ardmore ceramics is uniquely different and has become a worthwhile investment
