Amongst the seaside themes produced by Meakin were Fisherman's Cove, Polperro, Regatta, Brixham, Clovelly, St. Ives, and Nice. Stylistically they are very similar with use of similar motifs in similar colours. Some of the wares are back-stamped with a colourful stamp and the name of the design, other times just the Alfred Meakin stamp....making it difficult to tell which seaside pattern you have.

Tremar Pottery is named after the village it was made in, situated in East Cornwall. It was started in the early 1960's by Roger and Doreen Birkett, and sadly had closed by the early 1980's like many other potteries of this period.
The style of Tremar Pottery pays tribute to Cornwall's Celtic past, and it has an ancient looking or Celtic charm to it. Likewise - if you had to design pottery perfect for Bilbo Baggins and Hobbits I think this would be it!
