Question ID: 476729

I am looking for manufacturers in IRELAND of Irish Pottery and ceramics. I am lookng to find manufacturers who can produce volume ( two - three thousand pieces per month minimum) of different items. The look we are trying to acheive is similar to the look of Nicolas Mosse Pottery ( Nicolas Mosse is not interested in growing his business). We are looking for casserole dishes with and without lids, mugs, plates, bowls, decorative vases, salt and pepper shakers, Pitchers and more. It should all be hand painted. The pottery or ceramics must be oven safe, microwave safe,able to go into the freezer and must be able to pass FDA requirements in the US ( it should preferably pass proposition 65 as well). I am looking to find at least 10 different factories in order to qualify as an answer to this question. I would need the names, addresses, phone #'s and preferably email addresses and websites If you find less than that I would be willing to post another question at a lesser dollar figure
Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 19 Feb 2005 01:04 PST Hello almo7091-ga, It will be a tough search to locate 10 factories to meet your criteria. Since you suggested that a partial answer will also help, I?m providing you with a list of about a dozen Irish pottery artists/manufacturers that might be appropriate. It is difficult to say whether all of them would have the capacity to produce the volume of products you?re looking for. I don?t know if they meet your comparison to Nicholas Mosse requirement in their styles. I suggest that you review the links I?ve found and tell me how many of them are suitable and whether you will accept this information as the answer. I look forward to your clarification. ~ czh ~ http://www.irishartsreview.com/html/vol19_no2/ceramic/feature_ceramic.htm One of the most famous names of Irish pottery both here and internationally, Nicholas Mosse runs his business independently of the systems discussed above and at present he employs about a hundred people. *** This is an interesting article about Irish pottery and the status of Nicholas Mosse in the industry. ------------------------------ http://www.craftireland.com/nonmembers/results.asp?cat=1&searchtype=Categories Ceramics & Pottery * This site provides about three dozen artists/manufacturers that offer a variety of ceramic and pottery products.

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 20 Feb 2005 15:42 PST Hello again almo7091-ga, Thank you for your clarification. I hope that some of the pottery makers will be able to fill your needs. I?m surprised at how difficult it is to find industry information about Irish pottery manufacturers. I?ve collected a few more links that might be of interest. I especially suggest that you contact the Crafts Council of Ireland and CraftIreland since these organizations are dedicated to promoting Irish crafts makers. Since you feel that my clarification has already provided you information that somewhat satisfies your question, I suggest that you change the price of the question to $100 and I will post my answer in the Answer box. Do not rate the question until you?ve followed through with the resources I?ve furnished. If you feel that the information you get fulfills your original expectations, you can then rate my answer and provide an additional payment as a tip. Below I'm giving you links for the instructions on how to implement these suggestions. Thank you for getting back to me.

and gave an additional tip of: $20.00

It is difficult to rate this ansswer as the question itself was very
vague and there do not seem to be many viable correct answers.
However, the research that was done although not providing the desired
effect was professional and accurate and done speedily

There is another new site which provides suppliers at www.irishcraftsdirectory.com
While it lists these suppliers as a shop, it maybe a useful source such as
www.irsihcraftsdirectory.com/bandonpottery which is based in Cork

Hope this is of some help
