"A Nation of Shopkeepers". Welcome to the world of Hazle Ceramics, creators of the Award-winning collectable ceramic wall plaques.
Modelled on real buildings of historical interest around the UK, the shop fronts are all architecturally correct and cast from Hazle's original models and moulds. No two buildings are ever quite the same as each piece is individually hand painted.
The company was formed in 1990 by Hazle Boyles, who, at the time, designed, painted and produced all the ceramics herself. Since then, the company has grown substantially, and Hazle now employs people from all around the Brentwood area, selling its ceramics to enthusiastic collectors worldwide.
The range has received the British Giftware Association Award for the 'Best Collectable' for it's "originality and value", and counts esteemed antiques and collectables expert Eric Knowles among its proponents.
