Welcome to Pips Trip
• Retro Ceramics selection •
An initial purchase of just one vintage/retro plate is what got us at Pips Trip totally hooked on ceramics designed and manufactured during the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s. Styles range wildly from beautifully simple and pared-down modernist to downright crazy and psychedelic to the fabulously kitsch and, not forgetting the rustic handmade ‘studio’ pottery. Designs reflecting any of these styles could be used for what were considered then everyday pottery or ironstone housewares or equally on the very best quality continental porcelain. There should be something in Pips Trip to suit every taste and budget with iconic items mainly from the British Isles, Scandinavia, Italy and West Germany.
We attempt to stock ceramics from all the major manufacturers of the period producing items in these styles such as Hornsea, Midwinter, Poole, Portmeirion, Briglin, Leach, Troika, Iden, Rye, Cinque Ports, St Ives, Jersey, Holkham, Buchan, Bittossi, Raymor, Royal Copenhagen, Bing & Grondahl, Nymolle, Egersund, Figgio Flint, Stavangerflint, Arabia, Rorstrand, Upsala-Ekeby, Gustavsberg, Rosenthal, Thomas, Bay, Scheurich, Carstens, Roth, Otto, Ruscha and Steuler (the West German ceramics, or what is now becoming known as ‘fat lava’, being of particular interest to us at the moment).
