Heavyweight chimney pots which will adorn a country house were fittingly created in a rural Kentish pottery.
The structures, which weigh in at 85lbs each, were so large they had to be thrown in sections by master crafters Alan Parris and Billy Byles in the Aylesford Pottery at The Friars.
They then had to be dried with an industrial blow torch.
In total 12 were commissioned as replacements for a historic house in the county.
