Willow & Ware was founded in memory of Christina Dishington — a woman with an extraordinary eye and a lifelong devotion to beautiful things.
Christina was Scottish, and she spent decades gathering the unusual, the elegant, and the overlooked: antique glassware, hand-thrown ceramics, vintage tableware and decorative objects collected from markets, auctions, and antique fairs across Britain and beyond. Each piece chosen with instinct, not trend.
When she passed, her grandchild and family, James Dishington and his partner Caitlin Parker couldn’t bear to let the collection sit in boxes. So they opened a prop hire house instead.
Willow & Ware is now based in Kentish Town, North London, at Murphy’s Yard — a creative hub just minutes from Camden and Chalk Farm. Our showroom is open by appointment, and our collection is available to hire for editorial shoots, commercial campaigns, food photography, film, TV, and events.
We’re always expanding the collection with fresh finds, and we publish catalogue updates throughout the year. If you’re looking for something specific, get in touch — we’re happy to help source it.
