Cromartie Quality Review – Temporarily Paused Items (October 2025)

As part of our continued commitment to quality and reliability, we’re currently carrying out additional in-house testing on a small number of functional bisqueware pieces. While this review takes place, we’ve temporarily paused sales of these specific items as a precaution, to ensure every product continues to meet our standards for performance and consistency.

It’s important to note that this affects only a very small selection of items within our bisqueware range, which includes hundreds of designs. The vast majority of our bisque remains unaffected.

A list of the temporarily paused items is available on request, showing which pieces are currently under testing. Not every box or batch is affected, but these lines have been removed from sale while we work with our supplier Gare and the manufacturer to review consistency across all stock. If you currently hold any of these items, please monitor them when firing and contact us if you experience any issues.

We understand this temporary pause may cause inconvenience for customers who regularly use these functional pieces, and we sincerely apologise for that. We’re working hard to complete testing, resolve the issue, and ensure new stock meets our usual high standards of reliability and quality.

We’ll share updates as soon as items are cleared or replacement stock becomes available. Suitable, high-quality replacements for affected items have already been ordered and are now en route to Cromartie, with availability expected from the first week of November.

If you have any questions or need advice on suitable alternatives, please call 01782 319435 or email our team.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued trust.
