Blue banded pottery was a well-established feature of pottery
in Britain throughout the nineteenth century. The origins
of the Cornish name lie firmly with T. G. Green, who have
been producing the Cornish range of blue and white striped
pottery since the 1920s. Although this style has become
synonymous with the South West, its original home has ialways
been T. G. Green's Church Gresley pottery in Staffordshire,
which dates back to the 1790s. While there have been many
inferior copies of the Cornish pottery style over the years,
the T. G. Green products are the originals, and continue
to be manufactured to this day. The plates, bowls and cups
in their crockery range have become treasured collectors
items - if you are already in possession of Cornishware,
you may like to see our guide to dating
Cornish Kitchen Ware. Exactly why T. G. Green gave the
Cornish name to its range is uncertain, but the legend that
their south of England representative named it after 'the
blue of the Cornish Skies and the white crests of the waves
' is certainly appealing. This tradition was maintained
by the pottery in its advertising material - a Cornish Ware
leaflet produced by T. G. Green in 1938 for the retail trade
includes the heading 'Blue of the Atlantic - White of the
Cornish Clouds - Glisten of the Sea - What Woman Could Resist
such Beauty in her Kitchen'.
Pottery making in South Derbyshire - Although the tradition
of pottery manufacture in South Derbyshire extends back
to Roman times, few wares can be positively linked to the
region until the medieval period. Encaustic tile production
on a large scale was carried out at Repton in the 14 century,
and the remains of a kiln were excavated on the site in
1866. More diverse were the wares associated with Ticknall
where the earliest production records date from the late
16th century. Dishes, jugs, candlestick holders and figures
in a dark or red or brown body decorated with white or black
slip are typical. However, the major development of the
South Derbyshire ceramic industry did not take place until
the end of the 18th century. The home of T. G. Green pottery,
is in Pool Street in the pre Doomsday Book parish of Church
Gresley, where the pottery works were founded in 1790. |
