BURSLEM POTTERY

The name ‘Burslem Pottery’ has been around for well over a hundred years.

The art which Burslem Pottery produces today originates from the time when Burslem Pottery was part of the Moorcroft group. The magic passed on from Moorcroft was an ability to create defined design images in stoneware, something which had eluded potters for more than six centuries until Moorcroft cracked the secret.

Today, the quirky sculptured birds, reptiles, animals and sgraffito line work have been passed on to potter, Jerry Marshall, the owner of Burslem Pottery.

Deep in the heart of the Staffordshire Potteries, Jerry & his small team continue the tradition of making unique stoneware by hand from start to finish. Special colours, glazes and raw materials are sourced from around the world. The pottery is fired in special kilns at temperatures so high that colour, clay and glazes fuse together to create totally unique works of art. No two pieces will ever be the same.

Further details of Burslem Pottery can be found on their web site: www.burslempottery.com

Among the many pieces we have a specially designed Woburn Vase made with the Abbey & Safari Park in mind.
