Victoria Ellis has to be a name to watch out for! From her purpose built workshop at home in Norwich, she produces the most exquisite ceramic panels, each one a unique design painstakingly carved. It is a process that can take weeks: for example, the carving for the Isolde plaque shown in this exhibition took in excess of 70 hours. With such time consuming work Victoria is only able to produce a small number of pieces each year.

Victoria qualified from Art School at the University of Northumbria and has since gone on to produce work for the Royal Institute of British Architects, and has undertaken numerous private commissions for Important Arts and Crafts Houses both in the UK and abroad. In addition to exhibiting at prestigious events such as the Art in Clay Festival, Victoria has, for the last three years produced work for Bonham’s annual British Art Pottery Sale, having been sought out by the Department Director Mark Oliver. These pieces, in a highly competitive market-place, regularly command five figure prices; the top price to date being a whisker short of £5000

It was whilst visiting Bonham’s sale that Victoria’s work caught the eye of Alison Davey, MD of AD antiques. Alison was impressed with Victoria’s superb technical ability, and also her beautiful designs inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement. It is clear to Alison that whilst Victoria’s work has huge aesthetic appeal, and is of the highest quality it also represents a potentially good investment for her established clients who will appreciate the unique nature of each hand crafted piece.

Victoria does not produce limited editions; each piece is totally unique!
