In the early 1990's, Anna Weatherley established a studio in Budapest, Hungary where she trained a group of highly talented painters to create her collection of handpainted porcelain dinnerware and accessories. Her designs are inspired by early botanical illustrators and flower painters of the 18th Century Europe (Redoute, Hooker, and Ehret) as well as Dutch still-life paintings. Anna Weatherley's handpainted pieces can be found at the White House, The Blair House, Buckingham Palace, and Princess Diana's personal collection.
