Bandon Pottery

Ceramics in Bandon

In the lovely valley of the River Bandon in West Cork in the South West corner of Ireland, for more than 30 years Jane Forrester has designed and produced, with a small team of helpers, uniquely colourful high-fired stoneware pots, renowned for their durability and timeless style.

Bandon Pottery moved in 2003 to a new studio and showroom a little closer to the heart of West Cork, where all of the pots are now handmade and decorated by Jane Forrester herself.

At Bandon Pottery my aim is to make honest useful pots by traditional methods, with individual care and attention to detail; beautiful to look at, good to feel, and robust enough for everyday use in the modern household. I use a fine white stoneware clay, which I fire to 1260 degrees Celsius to ensure that the body is vitreous and resists chipping. All of this tableware & cookware is made for regular use in oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher.
