The blue and white striped Cornish Ware by T. G. Green is recognised as one of the most classic and enduring designs of twentieth century kitchen pottery. Established in 1864 by Thomas Goodwin Green, when he purchased the Derbyshire pottery of Church Gresley, T G Green potteries started out by manufacturing utilitarian kitchen and table-wares for local demand only.
The classic blue and white banded design was born as a result of the economic recession that followed the First World War. With factory workers in their white earthenware division down to a two-day week, further projects were urgently required. The result was Cornish Kitchenware, or Cornish Ware, as it became known.
The banded Cornish ware was created by dipping the unfired pottery in blue slip and then turning each piece on a lathe to remove bands of the slip, revealing the white body underneath. A clear glaze followed to make them watertight and suitable for kitchen use

15 ounce mug, red stripes
I am very pleased with my mugs…Cornishware has long been a favourite so I was glad to discover that Maggie and Dix carry them. I love the size and sturdiness as well as the beautiful stripes of course. They also keep tea or coffee at the perfect temperature…not scalding hot, and they don’t let it cool too rapidly. Looking forward to ordering the pasta bowls too.
