Cornishware
Thomas Goodwin Green opened his pottery factory in the late 19th century in Church Gresley near Scarborough (the same church you can see on the bottom of every piece of Cornishware). The iconic blue and white stripes, for which the company became famed, were introduced in the years following the First World War (Cornishware because it evoked ‘the blue of the Atlantic, the white of the Cornish clouds’). Modern times have seen financial troubles, new investors and experiments with foreign production but Cornishware is now firmly and happily settled in the West Country, using the original Cornish clay and 1920s glazes and extending the range to include myriad colours.
