Tintagel Pottery was established in 1948 by the Norwegian potter, Egil Cunningham Quam with Kathleen Everard. Enid Mutton joined the pottery in 1948. Enid and her partner Roger Howard took over the pottery in January 1951. Leonard Knight worked at the pottery for a while before setting up his own pottery called Knight's of Tintagel. Jack Boundy also worked at the pottery before starting up Avalon Pottery. Tintagel Pottery is noted for its distinctive dragon and dragon's eye decorations as well as commemorative pieces.
