The clip has received more than 1,400 hits, with Keith hopeful it will match the success of his previous Rolling Clay with Keith - a spoof version of Adele's Rolling in the Deep.

It shows Keith's friends dancing on Whitstable beach while he makes a mug before the 49-year-old boards a flight to the Far East.

Keith said: "We had 240,000 watch our Rolling In the Deep video it did phenonemal for us so we hope this will do well for us.

"We tend to do one music video every year-and-a-half."

He added: "I don't take myself too seriously. We like to have a laugh and try and do something a bit different from other ceramics companies.

"This video is definitely more focused on the Keith Brymer Jones brand and to show it all stems from Whitstable.

"We wanted to do something to show what we do from making the prototypes in Whitstable to the factory in China."
