Why we carry it

We’ve been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Original BTC is one of the few lighting brands that still makes its own pieces in Britain. Original BTC makes its bone china in its own factory in Stoke-on-Trent, the heart of British ceramics: liquid slip is poured into moulds, the pieces are dried, sponged, fettled and fired over several days.

Buy once: durability and care

Care advice from the distributor for the Hector range: switch off the power, then dust with a soft dry cloth or wipe with a cloth dampened with water only, and dry thoroughly. Bone china is fired ceramic, so handle the shade with the same care as fine tableware.
