Burleigh Pottery Seconds

All Burleighware is handmade, which means variations in glaze or pattern can occasionally occur. Pieces that don’t meet our strict quality standards are classed as Second Grade. The imperfections can vary from piece to piece, but these will always be cosmetic imperfections rather then functional ones. We will continue to make each one, adorned with speckles of ink dots or slight smudges, available to our customers to help reduce our impact on the environment⁠ and in turn, you can get our famous quality and style for less.

If you’re searching for pottery seconds shops in Stoke on Trent, look no further; we have seconds ceramics stock both online and in our physical Burleigh Factory Shop at Middleport Pottery in Burslem.

Sometimes, small imperfections can happen as part of our manufacturing process. During the kiln firing of the piece, slight variations in glaze colours, or imperfections such as spots or uneven colour, can occur. While these are only slight cosmetic blemishes, they do not fit within the exacting standards we have for our best-quality products, and so are designated to the outlet as Burleigh Pottery seconds.

This outlet often features products from some of our most iconic Burleigh collections. But, as seconds are an unintended result of the manufacturing process, there's no telling just what we'll get in stock. If you see something you like, perhaps one of our beautiful Burleigh mugs, dinner plates, or pasta bowls, we would recommend that you buy while you can, as stocks are limited. Otherwise, keep checking back to see what beautiful pieces we have available or invest in our best-quality tableware.

All of the pieces in our Burleigh Pottery outlet are just as special and timeless as the rest of our pieces, so browse the range today and order online with UK or international delivery.
