Upchurch Pottery
Upchurch Pottery was a pottery business established in 1909 in Upchurch, Kent, by the Wakely brothers. Most of the clay used in production was taken from what is now called Springbank Farm in Poot Lane Upchurch. In the mid-1930s it was bought by Alice Buxton Winnicott and here she manufactured her Claverdon tableware.Clifford Yorke, ‘Winnicott, Donald Woods (1896–1971)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Sept 201accessed 20 Feb 2017/ref> named after her birthplace and sold in Heals, on the Tottenham Court Road, London.Greer, J (2014) Learning from Linked Lives, unpublished thesis, University of Southampton , mottoeng = The Heights Yield to Endeavour , type = Public research university , established = 1862 – Hartley Institution1902 – Hartley University College1913 – Southampton University Coll ...

Pottery
Pottery is the process and the products of forming vessels and other objects with clay and other ceramic materials, which are fired at high temperatures to give them a hard and durable form. Major types include earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. The place where such wares are made by a ''potter'' is also called a ''pottery'' (plural "potteries"). The definition of ''pottery'', used by the ASTM International, is "all fired ceramic wares that contain clay when formed, except technical, structural, and refractory products". In art history and archaeology, especially of ancient and prehistoric periods, "pottery" often means vessels only, and sculpted figurines of the same material are called " terracottas". Pottery is one of the oldest human inventions, originating before the Neolithic period, with ceramic objects like the Gravettian culture Venus of Dolní Věstonice figurine discovered in the Czech Republic dating back to 29,000–25,000 BC, and pottery vessels tha ...

Upchurch
Upchurch is a village and civil parish in the Swale district of Kent, England. It is situated just off the A2 road, between Rainham and Sittingbourne. History Upchurch lay on a pre-Roman trackway; the many linking roads are the result of Roman occupation, which had built a community of ex-soldiers who wanted to settle in England. A Roman cemetery has been discovered here. There were also several Roman pottery works sited here. It is probable that, although today the land is low-lying and marshy, it was once higher than it is today. The Upchurch Hoard is a hoard of well worn coins which date from the first and second century A.D. which were found close to Upchurch in 1950. Upchurch Hoard Andrew McCabe, ancients.info, accessed June 2010 A more recent pottery was established here in 1909 called the [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
