Poole Pottery
A pottery brand and manufacturer originally based in Poole Dorset England.
Founded in 1873 producing pottery by hand on Poole quayside, later moving to a new site in Sopers lane in Poole until its closure in 2006.
Poole Pottery was originally "Carter's Industrial Tile Manufactory", "Carter Stabler Adams" and eventually became "Poole Pottery".
In the 1920s Truda Carter was their chief designer, her original designs were interpreted by "paintresses" who added their own individuality to the pieces, all of which were handmade.
Poole Pottery came out of administration on 10 February 2007 and was under the control of Lifestyle Group Ltd, which also owns Royal Stafford Tableware. The main Poole Pottery factory is now at the Royal Overhouse Manufactory (sharing with Royal Stafford) in Burslem, Stoke on Trent where production is now carried out following the closure of the Poole factory.
