Here is an superb example of the quality pottery produced at the Fishley Holland pottery in Clevedon Somerset.The mug measures 10cm high and has a diameter of 9cm.Its in excellent condition and has no chips or cracks. The decoration is unusual for a commemorative mug, depicting the crown in a series of white dots. On the base there is an inscribed initials .In this special jobilee year its quite fitting for this mug to come to the market place. It has been in my collection for over 15 years. Fishley Holland pottery started with George Fishley, father of Edmundand Robert Fishley and grandfather of Edwin Beer Fishley (1832-1912], who ran the Fremington Pottery in North Devon from 1865 to 1906. Edwin's grandson, William Fishley Holland worked at the pottery from 1902. William went to nearby Braunton and managed the Braunton Pottery . It was at Braunton that Michael Cardew learnt to throw, under the tuition of William Fishley Holland. In 1921 the Pottery was sold. William moved to Clevedon in North Somerset,and opened his own pottery. Many other Fishley Hollands followed, including William (his son), Peter, Isabel and George, who added ' DUNSTER ' to his signature from 1959 onwards when he moved from Clevedon to Dunster, also in Somerset.
