Fitz and Floyd was established in Dallas in 1960, by founders Pat Fitzpatrick and Bob Floyd. It started off as an import company, but soon progressed to the design and sale of ceramic giftware and table top products and accessories. By the start of the 1970s, the company had several popular hand-painted ceramic gift lines in production. Fitz and Floyd collectibles are known for their intricate, imaginative designs that vary from humorous to elegant pieces. The company’s products are so popular that the city of Dallas commissioned Fitz and Floyd to make a one-of-a-kind tea service for Queen Elizabeth as a gift during her 1991 visit.

Although Fitz and Floyd items have been popular with collectors since the range first became available, special editions and limited production collector’s items were first produced in 1990. This includes teapots, ornaments, and figurines made of resin, glass and ceramics.

Excellent condition. Highly collectable.

I am moving house and in order to downsize, I need to reduce my collection of china, porcelain and complementary items built up over many years. You might like to look at my other listings which include similar and/or related items.

Pick up is from Pakuranga, Auckland or postage / courier by arrangement.
