Cornishware

Originally introduced in the 1920s and manufactured in Church Gresley, Derbyshire, it was a huge success for the company and in the succeeding 30 years it was exported around the world.

[3] The name "Cornish Kitchen Ware" was said to have come from an observation by a T.G Green salesmen that the blue colour used to decorate the dishware reminded him of the sky and sea in Cornwall.

He bought an existing pottery in Church Gresley from Henry Wileman, while on honeymoon in Scarborough[5] The exact date that Cornishware was created is unclear, but it is known to have been introduced by Frederick Parker who joined Green's as a General Manager in 1919.

[7] After the Church Gresley factory closed in 2007, designer Perry Haydn Taylor and 'lifelong admirers' Charles Rickards and Paul Burston restored the brand.

[8] Today the new T. G. Green produces a range of Cornishware products in various colours, including the traditional blue and white stripes.
