An early dish believed to have been produced and decorated by Michael Cardew. Another example can be seem from the photos. The current owner of the dish informs us that the dish was purchased by his late father for his mother as a gift in the 1920's. Making this the first time it has come to the open market Dimensions - 24cm width, 2.5cm height " WINCHCOMBE POTTERY - HISTORY There has been a pottery on the current site in Greet since at least 1800, 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Winchcombe. Known as Greet Potteries under the management of R A Beckett (who died in 1913), it produced a range of farmhouse ware, advertised as "Garden, Sea-Cale, Rhubarb, & Chimney Pots". Closed in 1914 at the outbreak of World War I, it did not restart again after the war. Bernard Leach is credited with restarting craftsman pottery in Britain in 1920. One of his early students was Michael Cardew who, at 25, was looking for a suitable site for his own pottery and in 1926 rented the old pottery buildings. Influencing his choice were the availability of local clay and the original bottle kiln. Cardew recruited two locals, critically Elijah Comfort, aged 63 and who had worked before in the pottery, and inspirationally, in 1927, Sidney Tustin (aged 13). Cardew wanted people to use his pottery in regular daily use, as has been the tradition in early centuries. He followed the classic English slipware style using the red earthenware Winchcombe clay. After a difficult star and many trials, he managed to start slipware production. Experiments with firing the pots in the bottle kiln were eventually successful. For the produce of three men, the bottle kiln was really too large but it was what they had. A firing went on for three days. Gradually Cardew's skills and hard work were recognised. In 1935 he had one of his pots exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum. In 1935 the team was expanded to include Charlie, Sid's younger brother. A young chemist called Ray Finch tried to join the pottery staff in 1935 but was sent away by Cardew to gain some pottery experience. Finch returned in 1936, aged 22, and was able to convince Cardew that he now knew enough and he joined the team." Source www.winchombepottery.co.uk 12/7/24

Bawa Ushafa for Abuja Pottery A stoneware charger, stamped 'B.U.A' and 'Abuja' in Arabic to the base. 40.5cm dia. Footnote: The Abuja pottery, located in Nigeria, has a rich history closely tied to British potter Michael Cardew. In 1951, Cardew was invited by the Nigerian government to establish a pottery training center in Abuja, aiming to merge traditional African pottery techniques with modern European methods. His vision was to create a sustainable craft industry that empowered local potters and elevated Nigerian ceramics on the global stage.Cardew’s approach focused on integrating indigenous skills with technical knowledge of glazing, kiln-building, and stoneware production. Under his guidance, the Abuja Pottery Training Centre became a hub for innovation, producing functional and aesthetically refined pottery that blended Nigerian cultural elements with Cardew’s European techniques.One of the most notable outcomes of this collaboration was the development of Abuja Ware, characterized by its unique forms and rich glazes, made from local clays. The center also trained renowned Nigerian potters like Ladi Kwali, whose works gained international recognition. Michael Cardew's influence left a lasting legacy, establishing Abuja pottery as a celebrated craft tradition that continues to thrive.
