About Us

Lovers of Blue & White is a specialist china business founded in 1995 by Andrew and Olwyn Pye. We realized that the enduring popularity of blue and white meant there were many collectors seeking favourite patterns as well as those trying to complete tableware services long since out of production.

With our team we can source any British maker or pattern, including all the major names such as Spode, Wedgwood, Doulton, Masons and Woods plus the smaller specialist makers such as Burgess & Leigh, Ford & Sons and Keeling.

Operating almost as a club we offer expert advice and help to customers, drawing on our vast archive of information about makers and patterns, including thousands of photographs and original trade catalogues.

Lovers has an historic home set in open countryside close to the village of Steeple Morden, Cambridgeshire, England (about 45 miles due north of London). Check out the equally historic Morden Hall at www.mordenhall.co.uk.

Some years ago we bought a large William IV farmhouse with extensive period barns and stables and began a sympathetic conversion to provide a family home and the base for our business.

The buildings may date from 1836, but the stable block now contains offices, warehousing and dispatch facilities with the latest computer systems to keep track of thousands of customers, the stock of china and communicate speedily through-out the World.

Our service is a personal one with many customers becoming friends over the years and we strive to ensure that every customer is satisfied with both the service they receive and the china they buy.


Much of our business comes by word of mouth and we are mentioned regularly as recommended suppliers in English magazines such as BBC Homes & Antiques, Country Living, Period Living and Country Homes and in newspapers: The Financial Times, Daily Express, Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail. US publications such as Country Home and the Washington Post have featured us. Expect to see us in Victoria Magazine and elsewhere in 2002.

We are also listed on the US based website Set Your Table http://www.setyourtable.com and the Spode factory website htttp://www.spode.co.uk amongst others.
