Inspired by the rugged coastlines of Cornwall these beautiful handmade ceramics have been created by award-winning potter Rebecca Harvey.                    

Each piece is unique after being individually thrown and decorated on the potter's wheel using traditional pottery techniques.

Every turn of the clay and twist of the brush is influenced by the natural beauty found in Cornwall's hedgerow's, blue skies and white-crested waves.

The ceramic tableware is then fired in the artist's kiln in her Cornish studio before being taken to galleries or exhibitions.

Many hours have been spent lovingly making the pieces in Penwith surrounded by the sights and sounds of the sea and countryside.

Rebecca has been making the established style od Cornish Pots, the blue 'Cornish Stripe' for 5 years.

Cornish Pots will be showcasing two eye catching new designs alongside the popular Cornish Stripe for the first time at Top Drawer.

She says

"I am excited to be showcasing the new eye catching styles, Shoreline and Linyow, for the first time at Top Drawer, a great platform to launch these new designs."

"Creating ceramics inspired by the Cornish scenery has been truly delightful. Each pot, vase or dish is completely unique - just like each wave that crashes onto the beaches around the county's coastlines."    

"I have designed and made many ceramic collections since 1996 but these blue and white striped pots have been some of my favourites because they reflect my love of Cornwall."

"Every pot is differen't just like every surf-topped ocean wave is differen't, giving buyers the chance to take home a little Cornish magic."
