We are delighted to let you know that Richard Kemp and Thomas Littleton Green of the Rye Mosaic Works were not the last people to produce Tunbridge Ware in 1939. A small venture based in Chiddingly Sussex has been supported by ourselves and we delighted with their progress. Their table mats and coasters will be made available by ourselves in April of this year and Tunbridge Ware will make a return to it’s spiritual home on The Pantiles 70 years after it was last manufactured.
