Collecting Blue and White Cornishware

Blue and white Cornishware was first made by the T G Green pottery in Derbyshire. The distinctive banded blue and white look was created by decorating the pieces with blue slip and then turning them on a lathe to remove bands of blue, leaving the white underside. It was then sealed with a clear glaze to make it suitable to be used for kitchen utensils. The name Cornishware was chosen because it reminded someone of the Cornish seaside - that is the only connection it has with Cornwall and many people collecting blue and white Cornishware may not even be aware of this. Blue and white Cornishware was first produced in the 1920s and has been a firm favourite ever since. In England there is hardly a house that doesn't have a couple of pieces of Cornishware handed down by Mother or Grandmother and everyday items such as coffee mugs and milk jugs are now highly collectable and fetch high prices at auctions and antique fairs.
