Briglin Pottery was founded in 1948 in London’s West End by Brigitte Goldschmidt and Eileen Lewenstein.
They produced a variety of handmade & decorated pottery items such as vases, lamp bases, money boxes and tableware.
The pottery has characteristic subtle, natural tones – oatmeal, terracotta & chocolate.
A wax resist technique was often used in the glazing process, producing a wonderfully tactile result – alternating coarse and smooth surfaces.
We really love the recurring daisy / sunflower motif – also the leaves on stem and striped designs.
We’re currently fighting over this wonderful big striped mug. To keep the peace, the deal is – if you make the brew, you get the mug!
If we’ve spiked your interest you’ll find a lot more information on the Briglin Pottery and Pottery Studio websites. There’s also a book on the subject available on Amazon and Abe Books.

Gorgeous! Time to hunt down some Briglin…
not sure how I navigated to you but I was checking out the name Briglin and trying to find out a little bit more about it – having just cleaned out a not used cupboard – found five Sunflower Briglin (all marked with name) coffee cups, six matching saucers and a sugar bowl – remembered being given them in 1971 – along with pot and cream jug now long gone – given the age the design just hasn't dated at all – I hope to put them out on ebay soon
love the natural feeling they evoke.
Nice!
