Cornishware (T. G. Green & Co.) (England) ceramics

Cornishware is a brand of pottery made by T. G. Green & Co., England. It is known for its distinctive blue and white striped design, which was first introduced in 1924. Cornishware is made from high-quality earthenware clay and is fired at a high temperature, making it durable and chip-resistant.

Cornishware was created by Thomas Goodwin Green, who founded T. G. Green & Co. in 1864. Green was inspired by the traditional pottery of Cornwall, which was known for its simple and functional designs.

The first Cornishware range was introduced in 1924 and was initially called "Cornish Kitchen Ware". The range was a huge success, and Cornishware quickly became one of the most popular brands of pottery in Britain. Cornishware was particularly popular with working-class families, who appreciated its durability and affordability.

In the 1930s, Cornishware began to be exported to other countries, including Australia, New Zealand, more... and the United States. It became popular all over the world for its classic design and durability.

In the 1960s, Cornishware was given a modern makeover by the designer Judith Onions. Onions introduced new patterns and colors, and she also updated the shape of some of the pieces. The new Cornishware range was very popular, and it helped to introduce Cornishware to a new generation of customers.

In 2007, T. G. Green & Co. ceased production of Cornishware. However, the brand was revived in 2009 by a new company which carried forward the company name, T. G. Green & Co., which is now based in Somerset, England. Cornishware is still made using the same traditional methods as it was in the 1920s, and it is still one of the most popular brands of pottery in Britain.

Today, Cornishware is available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and patterns. It is also available in a variety of different colors, including blue, white, green, and yellow. Cornishware is still popular with both families and businesses, and it is known for its durability, affordability, and classic design. less...
