Broadhurst Pottery, a cherished name in British ceramics, traces its roots to the early 20th century in Staffordshire, the heart of England’s pottery industry. Founded by Alfred Meakin, the Broadhurst brand rose to prominence post-World War II under the guidance of Leonard Griffin. Known for its bold mid-century designs and practical tableware, Broadhurst perfectly captured the spirit of the 1950s and '60s—a time when design met durability in everyday homes.

Perhaps most iconic are the patterns by Kathie Winkle, a pioneering female designer whose hand-drawn motifs brought vibrant modernity to Broadhurst’s ceramics. Her work helped define an era, blending folk influences with geometric precision, and remains highly collectible today.

Though production ceased in the late 20th century, Broadhurst pieces live on, admired for their retro charm and enduring quality. Each plate, mug, or bowl is a window into a time when British pottery was both an art and a household staple.
