Crockery — Crockery, Cutlery & Tableware

Crockery by the pack from Steelite, Churchill and William Edwards, from workhorse whiteware cups to fine bone china tea services.

Buying crockery

Steelite anchors the crockery aisle, with Simplicity and Craft cups by the 36 pack, Revolution Bluestone pourers, Spyro low cups and William Edwards fine bone china for hotels running a formal tea service. Churchill Isla and Utopia Tribeca cover the mid ground. About a third of the lines here sell by the case of six, twelve or 36, priced accordingly, from under thirty pounds to several hundred.

Buy whole packs and stick to one pattern per site; odd cups multiply in the store cupboard otherwise. Pick a line the maker has kept in production for years, because matching a discontinued saucer three winters from now is a job nobody enjoys.
