Wemyss Ware (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Wemyss Ware is the brand name of the Griselda Hill Pottery, which is situated in the village of Ceres, Fife, Scotland.It was established in 1985 to produce colourful pottery based on the local Wemyss Ware that was made in Sinclairtown in the 19th century. This earlier pottery was first produced in 1892 by immigrant Czech designer/decorator Karel Nekola and local pottery owner Robert Heron. The pottery took its name from the Wemyss family, titled incumbents of Wemyss Castle on the east coast of Fife, who were early and enthusiastic patrons of Nekola and Heron's ceramic creations. It subsequently became popular with collectors.
