Mug with cobalt blue glaze. Made by Evan Jones, Claypits Pottery, Ewenny.
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.
Small square mug, with handles attached to 2 of the corners; covered in slip & exterior blue speckled glaze, interior with brown & black speckled glaze; sgraffito inscription.
