A new and glorious, warm colour Calico in Mulberry brings a contemporary bold tone to quintessential country charm.

Included in the collection are classic pieces such as Cake Plates, a selection of Bowls and Breakfast Cup and Saucer along with contemporary pieces such as Pasta Bowl and Rectangular Trays.

‘Calico’ was first written into the Burleigh pattern book on 1st February 1968 and has been in continuous production ever since. It began life when an American agent from a US Distributor arrived clutching a scrap of old calico fabric in one hand and a dream in the other. The fabric pattern was converted in a design suitable for ceramics, hand engraved on to a copper roller and a legend was born.

Burleigh is the last pottery manufacturer of its kind - decorating ware by tissue printed from engraved copper rollers which are in themselves works of art.  Each piece requires skill, patience and experience and this dedication to preserving a time honoured craft makes Burleigh the way it is today and always has been.
