Vintage View: Potteries from Cornwall

St Ives in Cornwall, has been an internationally recognised area for all forms of the decorative arts for well over a century, most especially during the first three-quarters of the 20th century.
Established through a tangled history of pilchard fishing, the railway and the consequent resort status from the late 1800s, any reference to St Ives peaks the interest of a reverent following of fine art collectors.
