Troika Pottery & The Range Of Pieces Available

Filed under: Troika — Tags: , , — Tess @ 9:00 am

Most people will have heard of Troika pottery, but what they don’t realise is the range of pieces that the pottery produced in a relatively short period of production.

Based down in Cornwall the pottery only produced pieces for 20 years – a short time considering that potteries such as Doulton and Worcester have operated for centuries.

Originally based in St Ives they relocated to Newlyn in Cornwall in 1970. Over this period they produced pieces ranging from dishes, plates, lamps and vases to other display items such as pieces called the Chimney vase or Wheel vase. I’ve pictured below a few of the shapes that are collected today:
