Collection Overview
The Tuxton Hampshire Collection is an Eggshell line with a distinctive embossed ribbed pattern — strength and symmetry expressed in strong parallel lines that balance tradition and beauty. Hampshire delivers versatility and value: a more decorated look than plain eggshell, without the cost of a printed or colored collection. Backed by Tuxton's lifetime edge chip limited warranty.
