British tabletop classic Cornishware has been reborn! First produced in the 1920s by T.G.Green & Co, the company that made the collectible blue and white pottery classics (named for the blue sky and white-crested waves of Cornwall) fell apart in 2007. Now, some enthusiastic fans (with the right kitchenware connections) have reintroduced the British classic...
The updated version of Cornishware is designed for safe use in microwaves, ovens and dishwashers. The line includes place settings and storage crockery — from mortar and pestles, juice jugs and egg cups.
Read all about the relaunch of Cornishware and see the full product range on the T.G.Green & Co. site.
We're interested to see prices and a list of US distributors (coming soon, we hope!).
Do you collect Cornishware?

So cute! But I'd feel as though I'd be cheating on my first love, Heath Ceramics.

Google 'blue and white cornish pottery' or 'english cornishware' and you'll get a few sites. It's pricey, though.

My dad has collected cornishware in the past. One of the nicest pieces he has is a rare yellow/white stripe milk jug. The yellow versions are a lot harder to find than the blue, but it's such a lovely sunny yellow. It's getting very expensive to buy nowadays, which is why he's stopped collecting actively.

The problem is that it's so instantly identifiable that every flea-market trader thinks his chipped, cracked tea cup is worth $200.
I prefer www.emmabridgewater.co.uk for that classic British look in the kitchen. The Toast series is naff but the British Birds ones are lovely.

I used to collect cornishware - had loads of the stuff - including a very rare flour dredger - sold it all at a car boot sale a couple of years ago
