The Cornish Bluebasket is a traditional picnic basket design
belonging to Optima's high-quality basket range. Blue banded
pottery was a well-established feature of pottery in Britain
throughout the nineteenth century. The origins of the Cornish
name lie firmly with T. G. Green, who have been producing
the Cornish range of blue and white striped pottery since
the 1920s. Although this style has become synonymous with
the South West, it has, in fact always been made at T. G.
Green's Church Gresley pottery in Staffordshire, which dates
back to the 1790s. While there have been many inferior copies
of the Cornish pottery style over the years, the T. G. Green
products are the originals, and continue to be manufactured
to this day. Founded in 1943 in London, Optima is one of
the leading traditional manufacturers of fitted, English
picnic baskets and picnic accessories. |
