Tube lining is a technique where a thin line of slip (liquid clay) is applied to the pottery to outline designs before hand painting, creating a raised, textured effect.

Old Tupton Ware is a brand of hand painted, tube-lined pottery established in 2001. The brand originates from Old Tupton, Derbyshire, England. It is known for its high-quality, floral themed decorative pieces that are hand cast, tube lined and fired in kilns for several hours.

The pottery is created by pouring liquid clay into moulds, with artisans using special techniques to create raised lines that separate colors, giving a 3D effect.

Products feature intricate, hand-painted floral patterns such as Summer Bouquet, Iris, Hibiscus, Wisteria, and Snowdrop.

The company also produce Art Deco style pieces designed by Jeanne McDougall. The range includes vases, trinket boxes, teddy bears, honey pots, night lights, and spectacle stands.

Original pieces can be identified by a specific crown stamp, which represents the brand's commitment to quality.

The pottery should be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth, or with warm water and mild dish soap.

While some have likened the tube-lined style of Old Tupton Ware to that of the world renowned “Moorcroft Pottery” (founded by William Moorcroft in 1913), it is in fact a distinct, separate brand established in the 21st century.
