Timeline
2024 is a very special year for all at Enesco and Fine Ceramic Transfers (FCT), as we celebrate our 30th anniversary.
The Enesco European Giftware Group more recently known as Enesco Limited started through its acquisition of two small companies in the north of England and south-west Scotland, Lilliput Lane and Border Fine Arts.
Together the two companies joined forces and moved to a new headquarters in Carlisle, Cumbria that remains Enesco’s home today. At the start of their journey it was the height of the collectibles era, with names such as Cherished Teddies, Lilliput Lane and Border Fine Arts as part of the portfolio. As was and still is Beatrix Potter. Enesco are proud to have been a trusted licensee since 1987, still preserving the magic and charm of Beatrix Potter’s world for generations to come.
In 2007, Enesco welcomed Fine Ceramic Transfers (FCT) and Country Artist into its fold, further enhancing the company's range of products by incorporating their remarkable skills in ceramic transfers and beautifully handcrafted designs.
While times may have changed, the narrative around Enesco’s vision and values has not; through the art of storytelling, we aspire to bring joy and happiness to every home.
