A vintage Ambleside pottery bowl. Ambleside Pottery was a British pottery studio founded in 1948 by George Cook in Ambleside, Cumbria, and operated until the 1980s. This one was designed by Sylvia Sloan.
Ambleside Pottery was a Lake District studio pottery founded in 1948 by George Cook, who set up his workshop in an old corn mill beside Stock Ghyll in Ambleside. Cook produced stoneware with a distinctive sgraffito style, scratching through a manganese glaze to reveal contrasting colour beneath — a technique he refined over two decades.
In 1968 the pottery was sold to Brian Jackson, who continued production with a more tourist‑focused range, including painted wares and humorous wildlife scenes. The pottery remained a familiar Ambleside landmark until its closure in the 1980s.
Today, Ambleside Pottery pieces are appreciated for their local character, handmade quality, and the strong design language established by Cook — often compared to the modernist influences of Lucie Rie and Hans Coper.
