The Alan Lee Collection is pleased and proud to announce that we have recently partnered with Santa Barbara Ceramics. Until April of 2008 Alan Lee will continue to manufacture all items featured on our website. At that time Santa Barbara Ceramics will begin shipping the items listed under 'Available from us until April 08'. Santa Barbara Ceramics will continue to add more products as production allows until eventually they will be manufacturing, distributing, and selling the entire Alan Lee line of products. We expect this transition to take place over the next 12 months or so. While we will make every attempt to make this transition as smooth and simple as possible, not doubt you may have questions and concerns. Please feel free to contact us at anytime if you wish to do so.
