1882 Ltd. is a design-led, industrially crafted ceramics company launched in Stoke-on-Trent in 2011 by Emily Johnson and her father, the fifth and fourth generations descended from the founders of 19th-century ceramics company Johnson Brothers. On a mission to preserve and advance traditional British artisanal skills while collaborating with cutting-edge designers and architects, 1882 Ltd. offers innovative and high-style pieces—both utilitarian and artistic—produced by highly skilled potters in the UK. 1882 Ltd. collections have been designed by rising stars and established talents like Max Lamb, John Pawson, Snarkitecture, Faye Toogood, and Kiki van Eijk.
