In the lovely valley of the River Bandon in West Cork in the South West corner of Ireland, for more than 25 years Jane Forrester has designed and produced, with a small team of helpers, uniquely colourful high-fired stoneware pots, renowned for their durability and timeless style.
Now Bandon Pottery has moved to a new studio and showroom a little closer to the heart of West Cork, where all of the pots are hand made and decorated by Jane Forrester herself.
At Bandon Pottery our aim is to make honest useful pots by traditional methods, with individual care and attention to detail; beautiful to look at, good to feel, and robust enough for everyday use in the modern household. We use a fine white stoneware clay, which we fire to 1260 degrees Celsius to ensure that the body is vitreous and resists chipping. All of our tableware & cookware is made for regular use in oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher.
We have developed an extensive list of stoneware productswhich includes:
Functional tableware for casual or formal dining.
Pots for storage, cooking & serving of food.
Lamps, oil burners & candlesticks.
Decorative planters & vases.
Mantel clocks
In addition to our catalogue list, we frequently make special pots for Corporate Gifts, Special Presentations and Promotions. Occasionally we make Limited Editions to commemorate special events. We welcome your enquiries.
