Crowan
Pottery 1948-62
Coffee Set
Harry
Davis worked at the Leach Pottery from 1933 until 1937, whilst
there he met his future wife May. Harry was a brilliant thrower
and trained David Leach to throw.
This coffee set is typical of the high quality production values
that Harry and May Davis were responsible for and which they produced
at the Crowan Pottery, Cornwall.
Harry Davis developed a very fine body clay which enabled them to
make very thinly thrown and turned forms. This coffee set is glazed
in one of the other distinctive qualities of the pottery's production,
a beautiful celadon glaze.
Condition:
The set is fine apart from two of the cups have chips and the
lid of the coffee pot has a very minor chip. Because of the fine
throwing and sharpe thin edges it is very rare to find a totally
perfect set. This set is as good as I have seen.
Size:
Height of Coffee Pot 7in (17.9cm)
Diameter of Saucer, 4in (10.2cm)
