Bossons is the story of two men, trained in the craft of making pottery, who transformed their craft into a serious art form as written in Book 1 by Dr Robert E Davis. The founder of the Company Mr W.H.Bossons who died in 1951 and his son Mr W. Ray Bossons who took over the helm and guided the company to even greater accomplishments. In December 1996 the Company closed its doors to make Bosson pieces a truly sought after collectible.

Each individual model was painstakingly handmade, hand-painted and hand-finished using the finest materials available. A model is painted in its entirety by one paintress who must have considerable artistic ability and be trained to the highest degree.
