Bailey Decal Ltd, ceramic decals for the pottery and glass industries

Bailey Decal Ltd is a British company dedicated to supplying ceramic decals and other auxiliary products for the ceramics, pottery and glass sectors. Its online catalogue brings together the range of open stock decals along with brushes for ceramic painting and other useful accessories for the workshop and production.

The company presents itself as having the largest range of open stock decals in the world, a claim that corresponds to its own commercial description. The decals are manufactured using the very latest ceramic colours, with the aim of achieving the best possible decoration for its buyers' products and customers.

Applications and compatible materials

The open stock decals are designed for onglaze firing and are suitable for different types of ceramics: bone china, porcelain, earthenware, stoneware and certain types of glass. This variety of surfaces makes it possible to serve both artisan workshops and productions that require ceramic decoration on finished pieces.

Online catalogue and direct orders

The website functions as an online catalogue with all the products in the range. In addition to browsing the offering, users can register, create an account and place orders directly through the website. The company states that it continually adds new designs to its catalogue.

Custom printing

Among the sections of its website is custom printing, aimed at those who need decals adapted to their own designs. The company also offers downloads and help sections, frequently asked questions, instructions for placing orders and practical tips.

Family history since 1948

The Bailey family has been involved in the ceramic transfer industry since 1948, when Kenneth Bailey founded the company K.H. Bailey & Sons Ltd. The company continues today as Bailey Decal Ltd and is still family-owned and family-run.
