Pippin's Pottery Daze


Little Pippin has taken a liking to some St Ives original pottery, before the company who made it moved to Newlyn, or thereabout. Pippin has a particular liking for the late 60's and very early 70's designs.

To be honest, this pottery goes by a special name and was intensely popular back in the 60's. It used to be on sale in seaside towns - the kind of stuff someone would take home for a souvenir for the grandparents or something of this kind, after spending a week making sandcastles and visiting the local amusement arcades. It has gained popularity again recently and Pippin seems quite drawn to it generally.
