Introducing Sapphire Porcelain: A New Clay to Celebrate 45 Years of Valentine Clays
As part of our 45th anniversary celebrations, we’re thrilled to unveil something truly special – a brand-new addition to our clay range: Sapphire Porcelain.
Crafted to mark this milestone moment, Sapphire Porcelain is more than just a new body – it’s a symbol of innovation, craftsmanship, and our ongoing love for clay.
This striking blue porcelain is made using our signature Royale Porcelain, renowned for its exceptional quality, smoothness and translucency, combined with the deep, rich tones of Cobalt to create a bold, beautiful blue that’s both timeless and contemporary.
Sapphire is made to be used on it's own or mixed with Porcelain for a marbled effect.
Whether thrown or hand-built, Sapphire Porcelain offers a silky, responsive feel and excellent workability. Its vivid colour stands out even before firing – and after firing, it reveals a stunning depth and vibrancy that makes it perfect for statement pieces, decorative work, or refined functional ware.
We developed Sapphire Porcelain to inspire – to spark new ideas in the studio and encourage potters to explore colour in porcelain in a new way. It’s not just a new clay, it’s a celebration of how far we’ve come and where we’re headed.
Why Sapphire Porcelain?
Sapphire is traditionally associated with wisdom, creativity, and resilience – values that reflect the heart of the ceramics community and our journey over the last 45 years. It felt only fitting to mark this anniversary with a clay that carries both meaning and beauty.
We can’t wait to see how you use it.
Whether you’re a seasoned porcelain potter or curious to try something new, Sapphire Porcelain is available now – ready to help you bring your next idea to life, in glorious blue.
Launching at our 45th Event in September!
