About us

Welcome to Bairstow Manor Collectables based in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent or The Potteries as it is often known. 

As one of the few remaining manufacturers of Toby Jugs and Character Jugs, we specialise in the production of handmade, hand-painted and limited edition pieces.

We've many different collections available and are always looking to build on these with new pieces. Our well established range of mini British Prime Ministers is collected by politicians and journalists and over the years we've specialised in creating character jugs and figures of Winston Churchill. In addition we've taken a well deserved satirical look at many other politicians. We also celebrate well known icons of pop culture such as John Lennon and historical figures like Emmeline Pankhurst. 

All of our products are hand made and hand painted in Stoke-on-Trent and we work the very best clay modellers to create each piece. 

Founded by Roger Bairstow, Manor Collectables is part of a family pottery history that began in 1938 when Roger's father Percy set up his manufacturing business Fancies Fayre and later PE Bairstow & Sons. With over 60 years in the business, Roger is as passionate about creating pottery collectables as he was when he started working for his father at age 14!
