We don't have as much info on Tremar Pottery as we do Hornsea. What we do know is that it was a Cornish studio founded by husband and wife team, Roger and Doreen Birkett, in the early 1960s. From their little workshop near Liskeard, they created gorgeous rustic, Celtic-inspired pottery pieces, with matte glazes and earthy tones - and for two decades they were a staple of Cornish craft.

​

The early pieces were hand thrown, but as the studio grew they switched to using moulds which was a lot faster. As well as their much loved homewares, they also produced lots of collectable ornaments which were incredibly popular with the tourists.

​

Since launching our vintage wine beaker candles we've learned a bit more about the pottery from talking to people who recognise it. As the studio expanded, it transpires that they started to use a 'tupperware party' style business model, where people would take samples to parties and the guests could place orders for the pieces they liked. What a great way of introducing the brand to people that couldn't get to Cornwall to see the pottery for themselves!
