Below we present our range of original Cornish
pottery cookeryware - the ideal quintessentially-English
kitchen accessories! 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. 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'. Click here to see our entire

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. If you are already in possession
