Purbeck Pottery And More

A very interesting home /garden and gift store based on Poole quay. Originally produced unique pottery locally since 1966.

Purbeck Pottery was founded in 1966 to manufacture stoneware tableware using Dorset ball clay mined in the Purbeck Hills near Wareham; this process still takes place today.

Philip Barnes, son of Peter Barnes one of the original founders proudly continues to produce pottery today although on a smaller scale and much slower pace.

Due to changing times Philip and his wife Sheena sourced goods far and wide in the hope that they would create a very interesting shop for visitors to the quay.

The on line shop is a continuation of our showroom which is forever changing
