Oxshott Pottery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oxshott Pottery was set up by Denise Wren and Henry Wren at their home, Potters Croft, in Oxshott, Surrey in 1920 (104 years ago) (1920).[1] The pottery had a reputation as a successful studio pottery, producing brightly glazed earthenware pottery; examples of their work can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Crafts Study Centre, Farnham, Surrey, and Kingston Museum Art Gallery.[2][3]
