This website is primarily devoted to the work of Stephen Smith and Terry Halloran, artists with an international reputation in the freehand painting of exquisite copper enamels and china.

Both artists built up a very strong following in recent years, while working for Moorcroft Enamels.
When this firm closed in March 2006 they returned to their first love of painting china.

They are now painting miniature china pieces, many of them produced exclusively for Steve and Terry in the very finest quality china. The majority are painted inside and out in a technique developed by Stephen and are of a unique style probably never before seen in well over a thousand years of hand painted china! These are surely antiques of the future.

  • Information about new releases on china can be found on the NEWSLETTER page.
  • Details about current releases and stockists can be accessed from the menus on each page.
  • There are catalogues, with images and full descriptions, of past pieces on both copper enamel and china.
  • There is background information on the history and techniques of these artforms.



Your views, help and comments are very welcome - this site is all about sharing our enjoyment of this fabulous art.
