Alea
I heard you speak at Althorpe nearly two years ago and was impressed both by your energy and philosophy.
I wondered then, do you feel flattered (imitation is the sincerest form etc etc) by the many sub-Bridgewater spotty copies or are they just cheap rip-offs?
I should add that I love both your china and the fact that you have brought employment and hope to the Potteries and a cheap copy wouldn't cut it for me.
That’s so nice of you. I feel pretty confident that we are well known to people like yourself who can tell the difference between the real thing and a rather half hearted imitation. Of course being copied is jolly annoying and we take steps where appropriate but personally I try to remain philosophical and focus on the next new designs.
