TG GREEN AND CO (1864-2007):
THE ORIGINAL HOME OF CORNISHWARE
T.G.Green & Co Ltd originally operated from the village of Church Gresley, South Derbyshire between 1864 and 2007.
More famous for their blue and white striped 'Cornish Kitchen Ware' produced from the early 1920's (then known as 'E-Blue') the pottery produced many hundreds of patterns from Yellow wares, Victorian transfer prints, colourful hand painted Art Nouveau & vibrant enamelled Art Deco patterns, Wartime utility pottery, avant-garde Retro designs and many well known Brewery wares, employing up to 1,000 local staff at the height of production.
Now, sadly, the old pottery site lies in ruins, the land under private ownership, never likely to ever see production again, the last of the South Derbyshire potteries has gone.
