As an international designer, Anna Weatherley's career
has included designing and manufacturing couture fashion, jewelry, home
furnishings, and printed textiles. In the early 1990's she established a studio
in Budapest, Hungary where she trained a group of highly talented painters to
create her collection of hand-painted porcelain.
Hand-painted
porcelain has a long tradition in Hungary going back almost two centuries. The
artisans in Anna Weatherley's studio are trained in the classical painting
tradition. Only the best painters are capable of mixing the colors and painting
the delicate details of her designs. Each piece is not merely a pretty painted
object, but also a work of art.
Although her painters are trained in the
traditional style, Anna Weatherley's designs are not classical porcelain
patterns. Her designs are inspired by the early botanical illustrators and
flower painters of the 18th Century Europe such as Redoute, Hooker, and Ehret.
Dutch still-life paintings have also been a source of design inspiration. Ms.
Weatherley's porcelain tulip collection is based on the work of Alexander
Marshal whose rare paintings are preserved in the Royal Library of Windsor
Castle.
Of course we carry the full line of Anna Weatherley
