Prykernow Pottery mark
Prykernow Pottery, Hayle
 
 

Low tide at Hayle
 
    

Prykernow means Cornish clay. The name was suggested to Jamie and Dodie Herschel by Colin Carbis who helped them to establish the pottery in the 1970's.

The pottery continued until 1981, when Jamie and Dodie moved production to the Cripplesease Pottery in Nancledra (formerly the Penderleath Pottery run by Anthony Richards).
