Our name, like our brand, is steeped in history. The phrase has journeyed into modern English vernacular via some of the world’s greatest storytellers from the ancient Greeks to Shakespeare. Today, the term ‘Halcyon Days’ denotes a golden period of bliss and success often in the past. For us, though, the Halcyon Days aren’t to be nostalgically yearned for. With our commitment to bringing the best practices of the past into the present, Halcyon Days are here to stay. Read our in depth look at the origins of the phrase here.

In a digital age where mass production is the norm, Halcyon Days have become the guardians of the ancient artisanal craft of enamelling. We are a business of tradition. All of our enamels are made by hand in our factory in Wolverhampton; the heart of where the industry originated in the 18th Century.

Find out more about the art of enamelling and our revival of it here.

In the West Midlands, our teams of highly skilled craftspeople and master artists employ techniques that have been handed down for generations. In fact, were an 18th century enameller or potter to look over the shoulder of one of our artisans today, they would find very little unfamiliar to them.

The belief in promoting, cherishing, and developing English craftsmanship underpins all that we do. We are committed to creating local employment, nurturing sustainable craft techniques, and supporting the UK manufacturing industry. Our constantly evolving offering of enamels, fine bone china, and fashion accessories have established us as the destination for English luxury gifting.
