EnglishHow to Buy Reckless Designs Pottery Online or View It in Person
Updated
You can buy Reckless Designs pottery directly through the online shop on reckless-designs.co.uk, or view the range in person at Butterfly Creations, Taurus Crafts, Lydney, Gloucestershire GL15 6BU. Online ordering is the most complete route — the site describes its online range as "the best way to discover and buy from us" — but two conditions matter before you commit: UK mainland orders carry a £100 minimum, and the Christmas order book closes each year on 1 November and reopens on 1 February.
Buying online
The site's Shop section lists products with individual prices and an "Add to basket" button for each item, so you build an order in the cart and check out from there. The homepage navigation includes Home, Shop, About, Copyright Info, Contact and Cart.
Example items and prices shown on the site:
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Hi-Life Gaudy large jug in Broad Stripe | £60.00 |
| Aztec tea caddy in red | £25.00 |
| Abstract tea caddy in blue | £25.00 |
| Abstract wide parallel mug in blue | £15.00 |
| Reckless Rosie small teapot | £30.00 |
| Horizontal stripey tea caddy in red | £25.00 |
| Splash tea caddy in Orange | £25.00 |
| Dining table and chairs | £315.00 |
Product categories visible in the shop include Abstract, Aztec, Black and White, Carnival, Carnival Safari, Double Handle Mugs, Fruity, Hi-Life, Gaudy, Horizontal Stripey, Lustre, Horizontal, Reckless Rosie, Splash and Vertical Stripey, plus a Corporate category.
Order conditions to check first
- UK mainland minimum order: £100. The site states this is essential because of escalating energy, manufacturing and processing costs.
- Overseas orders: shipping is calculated and advised per order rather than set at a flat rate.
- Lead times: anything not affected by the Christmas closure is available on an approximately 3–4 week lead time.
- Christmas cut-off: orders placed after 1 November can be expected around the third week of February, once the order book reopens on 1 February.
If your basket total falls under £100 and you are ordering to the UK mainland, the order will not meet the stated minimum — so it is worth grouping items or checking whether your order qualifies before checkout.
Viewing in person
The physical display is at Butterfly Creations, Taurus Crafts, Lydney, Gloucestershire GL15 6BU. This is the place to see the pottery before buying, which is useful if you want to judge glaze, size or finish on pieces like the jugs, teapots and mugs listed online.
Personalisation and commercial orders
Reckless Designs describes all its pottery as handmade and hand painted, and says pieces can be personalised — positioned as a gift option or an addition to a commercial setting. The shop also has a Corporate category, which is the relevant starting point if you are buying for a business rather than a household. Because personalisation and corporate work sit outside standard stock items, expect them to follow the same roughly 3–4 week lead time unless the Christmas closure applies.
What Reckless Designs is
Reckless Designs is a pottery based in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, making ceramics and handmade pottery. Its stated aim is "superior pots at sensible prices," and it notes that its work is completely made in Britain and enjoyed around the globe. The range covers functional tableware and decorative pieces — mugs, jugs, teapots, tea caddies and larger items such as a dining table and chairs — across the patterned collections listed above.
