	*Arch Pottery - St Ives - 1955 to 1966*


The famous arch at Hicks Court, St Ives where the Arch Pottery was situated. (2002)		Anthony and Christiane Richards at the Country Lane Pottery. (2002)

Anthony Richards started the Arch Pottery in 1955 in partnership with Peter Woolcock making a range of hand-thrown kitchenware and a few moulded pieces such as dragons. Anthony had previously worked at Lamorna Pottery before setting up Penzance Pottery in 1951. John Buchanan joined Arch Pottery in 1961.

Anthony also supplied unglazed pots for his wife Christiane to decorate at her Cellar Pottery in St Ives between 1960 and 1966.

Needing larger premises, Anthony and Christiane took over Penderleath Pottery in 1966 and finally moved to Country Lane Pottery in 1980 where they are still working. Anthony gave up throwing pots around 1992 and now concentrates on decoration.

John Buchanan set up on his own Anchor Pottery at Hayle in 1966.
