Vase

Ewenny Pottery

Vase made by David Jenkins, Ewenny Pottery, as a royal wedding gift for the Duke & Duchess of York (later George V & Queen Mary) 6 July 1893. He kept watch over two nights as the pieces were fired and glazed. Made in two parts and joined together, a technique still in use today. Tall shouldered vase with two handles in imitation of rope. Rich yellow glaze over white slip elaborately decorated in sgraffito.

Ewenny in the Vale of Glamorgan has a long tradition of making pottery. All the materials were at hand - red clay, glaze materials to finish the wares, stone to build the kilns and coal to fire the pots. There have been 15 potteries in the area at one time or another. Now there are only two. One family, the Jenkinses, has carried on the tradition for over 8 generations.
