About Creigiau Pottery

Creigiau Pottery developed from the Southcliffe Ceramic Company, established by Reginald and Jean Southcliffe in 1947. The Creigiau Pottery name was adopted the following year. The pottery produced both practical domestic ware and decorative ceramics, including copper lustre and grey-glazed pieces. The 1947/1948 chronology is independently recorded in local planning documentation concerning the historic pottery site.
