Some Big Fat News…
We are pleased to announce the acquisition of some original slip casting moulds for 1960s lamp base designs from a company in Stoke-on-Trent.
This acquisition will enable us to reissue these designs with updated contemporary glazes and finishing techniques, aiming for a release in 2026. Give us a follow or sign up to our newsletter on our website if you want to follow along our development of these lamp bases.
A few of the moulds came with bisque-fired models, so we already know what they look like. But some didn’t, so it’s going to be a bit of a surprise when we finally cast them.
It was by complete chance I found these for sale on Facebook and it is very exciting as we have for many years made new lampshades for customers with old West German Fat Lava Lamps, but I must admit also slightly confusing, as I have the lamp base front left, it is glazed in Fat Lava style, it is identical, I thought they were suppose to be West German and not made in a Middle England Pottery?
Of course they are now going to be Lancashire made.
