Cornish Kitchen Ware was first produced in 1926 by T.G.Green & Co in Church Gresley, Derbyshire, a county famed for its pottery. The range’s special characteristic came from the lathe-turning process, which cut clean bands through its beautiful blue slip to show the white clay beneath.
It was apparently this that inspired the name, since it reminded one T.G.Green & Co. employee of the clear blues and white-tipped waves of Cornwall.
Cornishware has come back into fashion recently as like me alot of people like the idea of pale pinks, blues and creams in my kitchen (that would definately be my theme).
I recently brought a little teapot for $5 on http://www.trademe.co.nz/ (the New Zealand Ebay!)
Its very similar to TG Cornishware, but it clearly isnt as you can tell by the price! I have seen replica tea pots slightly larger than this one up for sale for $50.00 NZD so there is clearly a market for them and youd only know the difference if you looked at the bottom! Plus i like it!
Due to its popularity of late Cornishware has gone through the roof 'price wise' and there 'Betty' Teapot retails at 55.00 GBP http://www.tggreen.co.uk/gift-service?load#cat=cornish-blue&prod=teapot-blue
The real stuff is presented beautifully on the dresser below.
As you can see from the picture above Cornishware is absolutely gorgeous... If you are looking for cornishware be sure to check the stamp (pictured left)
The lime green cornishware is the most sort after as it is the most rare of all the colours and is no longer produced! So rare i couldnt even find a picture on the internet to show you!
But you can check out the colours that are still made on the Cornishware website:
