Whichford Pottery, Whichford, Nr Shipston-on-Stour, CV36 5PG
Established in 1976 by Jim and Dominique Keeling, Whichford Pottery is a family business with a world renowned reputation for the highest-quality frostproof terracotta flowerpots – designed and made entirely by hand from their workshop in Warwickshire. With a skilled team of over 30, Whichford produce flowerpots which are beautiful, durable and full of character.
Every pot has been lovingly handmade, hand-decorated and even hand packed! Everything at Whichford is done in-house which means they have total control during the making process - they even blend they own clay on site so that they can offer a 10 year guarantee against lamination in the frost. This year, the Pottery is celebrating 45 Years in business!

Why Sellers Need To Be Prepared To Sell
January and February are traditionally a time of assessment in the Cotswolds property market. Conversations begin in earnest with market appraisals requested and plans discussed. With spring now underway, the outlook feels more defined, helping confidence to build as the market moves forward. We have been particularly busy with market appraisals in recent weeks; it seems many are firmly in the mindset to move this year and are making a good start by getting ahead with their preparation.
