Catalogue
As a result of the tight cash flow we have been unable to develop new lines
for the catalogue. It is maintaining the volume of sales - preferably through
retail outlets - which enables us to bring you new designs (the minimum order
for mugs is 196). Our thanks, therefore, go to Anne and Philip Powell-Jones
of the Classics Bookshop, Oxford, and to the Archaeological Museum in
Amsterdam, for all the sales they have made on our behalf. We hope that we
may be able to come to a similar arrangement with the new
River and Rowing Museum
at Henley.
In the meantime, I am afraid we are having to put up our prices by a modest
amount. It is the first price rise for several years - we have absorbed
a number of manufacturers increases - and I hope you will feel that our mugs
and cards still represent good value. If you feel the earthenware mugs are
too heavy for the designs, do try the bone china. We are not encouraging you
to spend more - we genuinely fell they are much nicer!
