Welcome to Richard Moonstreet Ceramics!

My name is Tex and I've been hand-making my original ceramic Duck, Goose and Pigeon buddies since 2019! Perfect pals to love and cherish, a cute unique piece of home decor, or the ideal gift for your favourite human! I can't wait to share some silliness with you! 

And if you want to know who Richard is, you'll need to learn more....

Fowl Friends!

It's remarkable but 2027 will be my seventh year of making silly pottery and daft ceramics. One of my original favourite makes are my Geese complete with bread necklace. Some people use the bread slices as napkin rings, others just perch the birds on their desk to be a workplace mascot. 

And if you want a dinky little goose mascot that can fit in your pocket - I have you covered there too!

Small Bundles of Joy!

Handheld little friends are my specialty. I try and make things that I hope people will smile when they see, and plus they must have a rhyming name (with a handful of exceptions). Ducks that like a baguette, that will be Ed with the Bread. One little bath duck, that will be Val with the Pal. One of my toughest extractions from the rhyming dictionary was Rhydian with the Amphibian - that was a stretch - there's not that much that rhymes with "frog". 

And yes I know I have to play about with some scales here and there, it would take a very tiny frog to sit on the head of a duck, but then again an even smaller traffic cone to get on to a pigeon...

Handmade Ducky Goodness

Why have you never considered treating yourself to a handmade ceramic duck ornament? My birds make delightful companions and desk buddies, and are ideal gifts for your pals too.

Every item I make with the Richard Moonstreet Ceramics stamp is entirely handmade by me from start to finish. No shortcuts, no AI, just a silly imagination and a dumb idea which turns into the silliest and happiest creature you can think of!

This is Richard Moon Street in Crewe. It is an actual street and I went there in 2021 to take some photos. This is an image of one of my ducks posing by the street sign.

Because everybody loves ducks.

I grew up in South London and was lucky enough to have The River Thames on my doorstep. I used to walk with my parents along the river bank, feeding the ducks and the geese as I went along. There's something nostalgic to me about ducks. They bring fun and laughter and a sense of warmness. Those childhood days just made me smile, and I try and capture that kid's smile in every ceramic duck friend that I make today, some thirty years later.
