The story begins in the early 1930s when two schoolteachers, Sylvia Packard and Rosalind Ord, found that their mutual interest in painting ceramic tiles could earn them a living. In 1936 the Packard and Ord partnership, using the hallmark ‘P&O’, began production in Barnfield, Marlborough, specialising in commissions and giftware.

Queen Mary and Fortnum and Mason were regular customers, and examples can still be found today in the V&A, private collections and, of course, on walls across the world.
