Vase
Person / Body: Ewenny Pottery
Large vase with elongated neck and 2 scroll handles; deep yellow glaze; richly decorated with reserved leaf patterns.
Vase with leaf decoration, probably Claypits Pottery, Ewenny, 1880s.
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.
