Vintage 1960s Bolingey Pottery, Perranporth Studio Pottery Figurine by Mike Edwards

An adorable studio pottery figurine made by Mike Edwards in Bolingey pottery circa the 1960s. 

Bolingey is a small village between Perranporth and Penwortha Combe on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall. In the early 1960s Norman Taylor, a travelling salesman from Coventry, moved to Perranporth and learned how to pot at evening classes. He started the pottery at Bolingey and operated it with the help of his family. 

Mike Edwards who had previously potted with Lake’s pottery at Truro, started helping Norman in the evenings, and was taken on full-time in 1965.

The Bolingey mark was incised with a six-inch nail, and Mike identified his own pots by putting a line under the word 'Perranporth'.
