(CLOSED) Giveaway #50: Win TG Green red Cornishware

by

giveaway-50-tg-green

Classic Cornishware blue and white crockery always makes me think of… childhood holidays in St Ives… blocks of vanilla ice cream sandwiched between rectangular wafers… canary yellow custard and apple pie… an English breakfast with bacon and eggs…. what about you?

I have quite a collection of this stripey stuff now – my Grandma had a few pieces which I loved using as a child but I bought my own first few plates and mugs in a sale in Heals back in 1995. I am still using the same mugs today and they look as good as new.

Ten years ago, vintage Cornishware was becoming collectable and expensive so my eBay purchases were fairly limited – I picked up a jug and a vinegar dropper bottle. As the range started to be restocked more widely in places like John Lewis I added a pestle and mortar and utensil jar to my collection.

My favourite piece of Cornishware however is a slightly tatty and indeed cracked jar labelled “biscuits”. I paid £5 for it in Portobello Road market but had it been in better condition its value might easily have been £60.

With the popularity of scare vintage pieces, TG Green have more recently expanded the Cornishware range beyond the familiar blue and white stripes to pastel sets of mugs and versions in green or red as you see above.

I’m delighted today to share some of my favourite crockery with a reader.  These “couple of mugs” pair of stripey mugs can each be inscribed with up to 12 characters – you can put the names of your nearest and dearest on them or else pick your favourite showbiz couple… Brad and Angelina anyone?!
