To keep it as beautiful and pristine as possible, we recommend that you follow the following advice:
• Avoid rough handling and sudden changes in temperature as this may cause the appearance of fine lines on the surface known as crazing. Crazing does NOT affect the life or the usefulness of the pottery, and some people feel this adds to the character and appeal of the pottery. It is nothing to worry about.
• Our pottery is dishwasher safe; please stack it carefully to avoid knocking.
• Our pottery is microwave safe but continuous use should be avoided.
• Stubborn stains may be removed by soaking in a mild bleach solution.
• For our ovenware pottery (and also our tabletop ware), avoid metal scourers or harsh abrasives.
• Only use our special Nicholas Mosse Ovenware in your oven, avoid direct heat and do not use on a hob or near a naked flame
All Nicholas Mosse products are well packed in ecologically friendly, recycled packing. Insurance is included in the shipping charge.

Old rose has been my favourite pattern for a few years so buying each piece is like winning a lottery. The teapot is quite light and even more beauitful in real than in the pic.

Visited the Nicholas Mosse studio years back and fell in love! As a former pottery student I truly enjoy using these beautifully hand-thrown pieces. Thanks for being a part of my everyday.

It is a beautiful piece that my daughter picked out when was in Ireland!

I love my old rose teapot, the handle is so comfortable to hold and the teapot pours really well. The only comment I would make is that the lid knob is a bit small, making it a bit fiddly and hard to grip; I'm afraid I'm going to drop it!

It’s pretty, and functional and I just love it.

My wife and I first became aware of Mosse pottery in 1996 on our trip to Ireland when we bought two large old rose mugs in a shop in Doolin County Clare . We have been well pleased with them over the years . This Year we decided to share our enjoyment of Mosse pottery giving Christmas gifts of old rose teapots and mugs with our family .

Lovely tea pot and excellent (!) customer service. They phoned me in Spain to ask if it was a present and would I like them to write a card. It was and they did and it was very well received ....

Love it almost perfect which I like being hand made ❤️
Anita D.5/5Verified
The teapot is beautiful, but a little smaller than I expected. I ordered mugs to go with it, but I think tea cups would be more in proportion to its size.
Great job on the shipping....well wrapped and protected. Thank you.

How this product is made
Every piece of Nicholas Mosse undergoes a 20-step, handmade process.
Basic Forming
Clay comes from the ground and we mix different sorts of clays to create our own, high quality earthenware. We dig, blunge, sieve, filter and pug the clay to form extruded logs of wet clay, which are then cut into the exact size and weight for each item. The thrower takes this lump and centers and forms it on an electric potter’s wheel.
Wet Clay or Greenware
The little jug body is dried to a "leather hard" stage, and then a handle is attached to it with a glue-like substance called slip. Small imperfections are fettled and cleared away to make the pot ready for the next stage.
Slip Dipping
When it reaches a very particular level of hardness, the little jug can be lowered into the liquid slip bucket. This type of slip is made from our same clay but with more water and less iron, to make it whiter. The slip is viscous and makes another pot cleaning necessary.
Bisque Kiln Firing
Once again the jug needs to harden even more, so it can withstand being stamped with our Nicholas Mosse logo. It then waits for its turn in the kiln and receives a first firing or ‘bisque’ firing, which removes all water from the clay and makes it hard and ready to decorate.
Decorating
Nicholas Mosse Pottery has a large group of shapes, from mugs to plates to bowls, which are all hand decorated in one of our 10 or so patterns. Each motif is applied by hand, one at a time, in different underglaze colours. The pots are then dipped into clear glaze and fired again.
