Tea pot
Tea pot, Ewenny Pottery, 1900-1910.
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.
Mottled yellow/green glaze over white ship outside, brown glaze inside; inscriptions in brown; conical, tapering spout; lid slightly more green then the pot, possibly fired at a different time and temperature.
