Our guests often seek recommendations for unique local experiences, and a visit to Ceramic Inspirations is always at the top of our list. Here's why.

The Evolution of a Pottery Legacy

The story of Ceramic Inspirations begins in 1978, originally known as Swineside Ceramics, founded by the talented designers Martin and Judy Bibby. Their passion and creativity laid the foundation for a brand that would soon become synonymous with high-quality, innovative ceramic teapots. Starting in a quaint converted farm in Swineside, the pottery's unique creations quickly garnered attention, leading to its evolution into Swineside Teapottery by 1986. As demand surged, both locally and internationally, a new, purpose-built facility in Leyburn Business Park became the pottery's new home.

Following the Bibby's retirement in 2004, the company, now trading as Ceramic Inspirations, continued to flourish, adapting to new trends while staying true to its core values of craftsmanship and originality. Collaborating with sister company Cardew Design, Ceramic Inspirations keeps enchanting the world with fresh, exciting designs.

A Paradise for Pottery Enthusiasts

Ceramic Inspirations is not just a pottery; it's a haven for teapot collectors and enthusiasts alike. The extensive range of teapots, from bestsellers like ‘The Aga’ and ‘The Espresso Machine’, to novelty treasures such as the ‘Bath Tub’ and iconic ‘Countdown’ teapot, caters to all tastes. The involvement of world-renowned designer Paul Cardew has brought forth an exquisite Alice and Wonderland themed collection among other inspiring works, all available for purchase online.
