First of all, it’s made in a tiny studio where gener ations of potters have toiled since the 1840s. Second, did I mention they made a plate for the royal family? Oh, and I guess they have some kind o f special lead glaze with sprigs of hop and hop leaves fired onto them. The royal family really appreciated that.
