This teapot is part of the Monkey Collection from Isis Ceramics whimsical Monkey pattern that features tropical scene that celebrate the 17th century style. Because Isis ceramics are hand-painted, no two are identical, so slight variations in the pattern are normal.

In Oxford, England, where the Thames is known as the Isis, the art of tin glazed ceramics continues to flourish. Isis Ceramics are entirely made by hand using techniques that have changed little since the early 1600s. Each one is an original, hand painted work of art, signed and numbered.

In Oxford, where the Thames is known as the Isis, the art of tin glazed ceramics continues to flourish. Deborah Sears, painter, designer and owner of ISIS CERAMICS, has collected 17th century English Delftware for many years. From this enthusiasm arose ISIS CERAMICS and a range of ceramics in beautiful patterns and shapes that evoke the spirit of 17th and 18th century England.  Born in America, Deborah studied painting in Europe, primarily in Italy. She moved to Oxford in the 1980’s and beside the River Isis in the centre of Oxford, ISIS CERAMICS was born. Situated in a building called the Old Toffee Factory, the new company soon began supplying retailers, designers and public institutions with dinnerware, lighting and decorative pieces. In 2000, ISIS CERAMICS relocated to a beautifully restored barn in the Oxfordshire village of Horton-cum-Studley. Now called the New Toffee Factory, this lovely rural setting has inspired new patterns and colours.
