EARLY CHRISTMAS ENGLISH CHINA & POTTERY SHOPPING: Spode, Duchess China, Wedgwood & Burleigh

[@joannbaumann4028]

I forget my cares and the world's cares for just a little bit of time, when I watch your videos. Thank you.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much, that really keeps us going!

[@bettysshowtime7400]

I feel the same way

[@KirstenJoerg]

@@bettysshowtime7400 Thank you!

[@lorellasguerri8302]

Ciao!Bellissime ceramiche,anche quelle che avete acquistato!😘

[@spiritofanu3112]

Me too ❤️

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Oh Kirsten and Joerg-WHAT A DELIGHT!!

[@KirstenJoerg]

It makes us so happy, thank YOU!

[@dedestephens4229]

I'm always anticipating your videos. You just bring a little cheer in these crazy times right now. You have NEVER failed to impress me with the content and coverage 9f your videos. Even when you think the videos aren't that good I'm feeling gratefully you put them out anyway. You're just very good at it! Thank you so much for giving us the United Kingdom.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh you are so incredibly kind, thank you so much!

[@wandaroach765]

Oh I love when you visit the potteries. I love how excited you get Kristen when you see a piece you love. 😊

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much, that means a lot!

[@christinemurphy5118]

I love looking at china. My aunt worked in a pottery in Pennsylvania a very long time ago ( I’m 75, so it really was a long time ago!) Unfortunately the pottery is long gone. They produced very sturdy pieces for diners and restaurants. I have a few pieces that I treasure because of the memories of going with my aunt to pick them out in their shop.

[@gretchenhejazi9463]

I would have an extremely difficult time restraining myself in those China stores. Every piece is more beautiful than the next!

[@KirstenJoerg]

We totally get that! So many gorgeous pieces!

[@ginnyburley9552]

I loved your statement: “I love everything.” That’s how I feel about china and pottery displays. Younger people here where I live want all their dishes to be plain, so stores don’t really display dishes anymore, at least not the pretty ones. I loved going along with the two of you on this video!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Saw so many incredibly beautiful pieces! I know what you mean, that's really sad - I just find that gorgeous china (pottery) is like art for the table.

[@helenbailey8419]

This was excellent.Thank-you for being so supportive of these beautiful manufacturers..so precious.Your integrity to not buy items not made here is wonderful.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much!

[@blairwarren5418]

I wished we had beautiful China stores in the USA . Love the blue China with flowers.

[@amyjones2490]

Sad thing is that we used to have quite a few potter's here. Too bad they've closed.

[@KirstenJoerg]

I can imagine! Sadly a lot of potteries no longer exist in the UK either since a lot of the production shifted to Asia or other countries where production and labour is cheap.

[@tracyphillips5754]

China and pottery shops never get old for me. Thank you for taking us along!

[@KirstenJoerg]

You are so welcome!

[@rainyh-jay2414]

My paternal family /ancestors are from the Potteries, very proud of my Stoke heritage. Must visit some of these places you've been to.

[@KirstenJoerg]

We hope you can visit!

[@letacarr6121]

I loved them all but the blue and white Spode is my favorite. Thank you for helping us escape from the terrible news in the world!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Blue and white Spode is always so beautiful!

[@claireangier3322]

I love Burleigh too. I've been collecting it for about 30 years, as I've always loved blue and white China it just goes so well in my country cottage. Great I formation in your videos, I always enjoy them. 😊❤🇬🇧

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh yes, blue & white is always so beautiful!

[@pixibelle3282]

It's delightful to see these potteries when we are surrounded by such cheap quality stuff.

[@amyjones2490]

I love the woodland series. Beautifully done.

[@KirstenJoerg]

It's such a gorgeous series indeed!

[@rosaliepingree4198]

I love Spode Christmas pieces! I can't wait for your Christmas videos! Cheers from Pittsburgh, PA USA

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much!

[@kimjohnson5447]

My daughter started me a set of Spode Christmas Tree 3 years ago and I adore it!! I add pieces whenever it goes on sale...I now have a 12 place setting with several serving dishes...its so pretty on the table at Christmas!! Thank--you for another wonderful video!!

[@kimberlycannaday7509]

I have watched this 3 times! My favorite video to date. I would love to go visit the China stores. I want everything.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh wow, thank you!

[@elizabethhowe2110]

I want one of almost everything, and the house to hold them all. These are my candyshops. The idea of an Alice in Wonderland series was so unique and brilliant. Never heard of anything like that before.

[@taitweigel64]

So many gorgeous pieces of China. I would love to shop there.

[@KirstenJoerg]

I know, there were such gorgeous pieces to look at!

[@shirleyandrews1152]

OMG, BLUE ! Lott’s of BLUE. 🤣😻🤩 THANK U, FOR SHARING. I lost everything when our town, Paradise California, burned to the ground 5yrs ago. When my home is rebuilt I will replace, what I call, memory pieces. It may not be the exact item but a replica of a gift from someone special or an inherited piece. Did u know that porcelain survives in a fire. 1800 degrees the cups survived but the glaze melted. My porcelain dolls head & extremities survived too. 🙀😺

[@seer1026]

What an inspiration you two are, thank you for this cuteness!

[@KirstenJoerg]

You are so kind, thanks so much!

[@patriciaheath1894]

What a beautiful selection of china. The prices are unbelievably great too. The Chinese Rose pattern is really gorgeous.

[@kimberlyholt2241]

"I hope you aren't bored" NEVER! I get to 'escape' with your videos! My favorite were the colorful flowery one!!!!! 💜

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank YOU so much!

[@witsonsmom729]

I feel like we are in our happy place every time you visit here.

[@ellaaltman2137]

Kirsten and Joerg just another terrific Vlog. So many incredible things - how to choose?! Thank you for understanding and sticking to your principle of purchasing only the items made in the UK and supporting this centuries old VERY important industry! Totally love the Spice Jars and the items that will make it to Germany this year, as you say "all with a story". Love the fact that you are building your collection, adding just one or two pieces each time you visit Stoke on Trent. Thank you both for letting us tag along!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much Ella! I know, so many gorgeous pieces, it can be really hard to choose!

[@cynthiapate9138]

No rest for the wicked!!😂 Burleigh is my favorite!! Thank you.

[@KirstenJoerg]

😂😂😂

[@marybazargani6929]

I would love to go to any of those shops, especially Spode and Burleigh. Love your purchases!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@Vera_Lin]

Приветствую вас, очень нравятся ваши путешествия и репортажи,посуду обожаю,с прекрасными покупками вас!

[@liisuanne]

I adore your videos. they are so inspiring and calming same time. I am a big fan of Englash lifestyle. I especially love English dishes. it even makes me a little jealous that you can go to factory stores like this and enjoy this indescribable beauty. I would probably be there like a kid in a candy store :). Burleigh and Spode are my favorites. Best wishes to you!

[@chockycake1]

What a lovely vlog. I did smile at the thought of your family members sat watching and trying to guess which gift is theirs. We have visited the Wedgwood factory shop and the things are beautiful, but we’re with you, we find it very sad that the pieces are not made in the U.K. Thank you for supporting and promoting the potteries. ❤

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much and so happy you liked it! I know, Wedgwood still manufactures in the UK but definitely not everything (and it's still very expensive).

[@meri8746]

So glad you picked up the spice jars! ❤

[@KirstenJoerg]

We are so happy with them!

[@ShannonMoody]

Always love seeing Burliegh!!!! And Spode!!!! I adore beautiful china!

[@KirstenJoerg]

So glad you like it!

[@jcmelborai]

I find so touching the love that shines through in your video choosing gifts for you and others

[@leticiawhite2747]

I love everything in the Spode museum!🥰

[@KirstenJoerg]

It’s such a wonderful place!

[@carmelpower130]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. You are so thoughtful in your support of local industry.

[@KirstenJoerg]

That's so kind, thank you!

[@jennymay4720]

kind people!

[@femalism1715]

Everything, from all the shops, was just exquisite. If I were starting a collection, I wouldn't be able to choose between all the patterns and designs! I suppose that's why so many pottery and china sets become heirlooms. The classic pieces are just so beautiful and timeless! The Christmas gifts you purchased were lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your visit to Stoke on Trent!

[@KirstenJoerg]

So glad you enjoyed it! I know, so many amazing designs.

[@Mustardseedling2]

My husband and I bought a Royal Winton yellow chintzware tea set in the Welbeck pattern years ago. It gives us such a happy feeling every time we use it (almost daily)! I understand your obsession with fine china and pottery. Once that bug bites you there is no going back. 😅 The Spode museum was wonderful. Everything you purchased was absolutely perfect!

[@susanlajoie2053]

Thank you that was like an enchanted dream world

[@natalialopez1197]

I fell in love with the 1st shop! It was Heaven! Guys thank you so much for sharing all this with us! Love You!

[@kaykrause4469]

I just love when you go shopping, never bored. I live in America but love all English. Even watch English tv.

[@treklinda1309]

This China is so amazing!!

[@KirstenJoerg]

So glad you like it!

[@Hair-today]

I am obsessed ❤❤❤❤

The Spode museum,what a lovely place to be!❤️Thank you Kristen and Joerg for sharing with us such a wonderful universe of cuteness and beauty👍Your videos make me forget my troubles🌹🇫🇷Thank you!

[@jaimiemcallen9312]

Thank you another fabulous visit. Just love going shopping with you guys it's the best....! I am obsessed with China to it's one of my favourite things to collect. Xx

[@lynnstrosnider8410]

Dear Kirsten, So love your channel! My husband and I will be traveling to England in April and will be visiting many of the places you and Joerg have introduced us to through your videos. In fact we have been inspired to make Chester our home base for five days and will definitely be doing a day trip to Stoke-on-Trent. Thank you so much for sharing your travels with us! Lynn from Maryland, USA

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much! Chester is a lovely place to stay and explore the Midlands and the North.

[@despinamitsou7258]

Hi from Rhodes Greece. You both have exquisite taste. I do agree that we must support our local shops and businesses.

[@NatureLoverFourEver]

We enjoy watching your videos when it’s time to relax as we have similar taste in general and you’re such a lovely 🥰 couple to watch … with your soothing voices and calm attitudes ❤ yup it’s a great time to think about Christmas 🎄

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much, that's so kind!

I had the pleasure of working tea events with Lord Piers Wedgwood several times. Such a charming gentleman.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Wonderful memories!

[@carolbuchel3011]

I love that saying "we're all mad here"-I think it fits the USA right now! But on a happier note, I just love shopping with you two-you've got great taste and it's just so fun!

[@gingerkoel5608]

What a beautiful shopping trip, it is very nice to see that these pieces are still available. Lovely little gems from the past to be enjoyed. See you on the next video!

[@donnamariecorrigan]

I could shop for china for hours but my husband would boot me out hahaha. I have so many treasures already so loved watching you shop and wish.

[@KirstenJoerg]

So glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much!

What a joy to watch a new video of yours =)

It's so good to see a couple that are happily married and having a great life god bless you both

[@lisakinderman4054]

Oh I love this! I recently purchased a small Spode set at auction and it makes me so happy whenever I use it!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Absolutely wonderful to hear!

[@jkneumann]

this is at once beautiful and painful to me. We were finally able to visit the UK this summer and actually stopped in Stoke at Emma Bridgewater and Portmorein(sp) which were nice. But, oh! had we gone to any of these shops you are touring it would have been so wonderful. Now I know for the future, thank you!

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

I love what you said at the end. I feel like people like you can only ever enhance a country your in wherever it may be. xx

I must go to the Spode shop & those Christmas baubles -stunning x

The Spode museum shop is wonderful, such unique and affordable pieces.

[@roseenglish7923]

It was lovely seeing my Wild Strawberry at Wedgewood, and the new pieces too. Delightful video.

[@tinasuarez117]

I'm in Heaven in these pottery shop videos. Burleigh, spode = 😍. That tweedle dee & Tweedle dum & mad hatter baubles ❤️. @5:11 pottery reminds me of Violet Crawleys (Downton Abbey) pottery. Hard to believe that Christmas is just 2 months away.

[@KirstenJoerg]

I agree, it's always so much fun!

Ich liebe das Geschirr, ich dürfte nicht in die Shops gehen, ich käme nie wieder da raus 🤣 liebe Grüße aus Münster 🙋‍♀

[@tonyatucciclark2195]

Everything is just so gorgeous, I could not control myself! I would have to hire a moving van to bring it all home. ❤

[@KirstenJoerg]

It's so hard to control yourself! I said to Joerg I wish we had several cottages and houses to buy more of the pieces so people could stay there and enjoy the pottery and china :)

[@BubsyMupsy]

Lovely ❤🥰😊🍀🌞

[@kathydelhom5289]

Was lovely to come and say hi at Wedgwood, it made my day seeing you both :)

It was wonderful to meet you Kathy! We simply love meeting lovely people who watch our videos and it always feel quite surreal as we can never quite believe that there are actually real people out there who watch and enjoy our videos so thank you so so much!
