James Bond creator, Ian Fleming, had a holiday home in St. Margaret's Bay - a beautiful location at the foot of the White Cliffs, secluded, peaceful and perfect for dreaming up stories of international espionage! It's said that the action from Goldfinger was set around the Reculver and Ramsgate area, with the Thanet Alloy Research company being the basis for Goldfinger's own company. Despite Fleming not spending much time in Kent, he did write several James Bond books here, and based many of the stories on local places. He spent much of his time in The Duck Inn, at Pett Bottom, where the no.7 coach to London passed regularly, and to this day it is now numbered "007" in his honour.
Goldfinger is a gold and black crackle effect ghost, finished in a satin UV resistant sealant.
Each Kent Coast Ghost is carefully handcrafted from clay and goes through several processes which include drying, sanding, sealing, painting, and finally varnishing, (dependent on the final finish). We don't use moulds to create our ghosts - every feature is added by hand using traditional clay tools - so every single one has its own unique features. Some of our ghosts are not perfectly straight, or may have different expressions in their eyes and faces...
They are also individually hand-painted so may contain slightly different patterning to the ghost pictured. This means that your ghost will not be exactly the same as the one photographed, as each one is as unique as you are.
All of our ghosts will be sent in a gift box with a Certificate of Authenticity especially for your ghost, and yours alone. These are put in a special envelope sealed with our very own special spooky wax seal.
Different screen resolutions can change the accuracy of the colours slightly, and your ghost may look different from the one pictured due to the handmade nature of these curious creations. Please also note the certificate of authenticity pictured will be unique to your ghost and will contain different information.

All sizes are approximate and may vary.
All of our clay is weighed equally and individually shaped entirely by hand. Other factors, such as humidity can affect the drying process of the clay, and therefore affect the size of our ghosts as well as the shape.
