Made by William Charles (Bill) Janes, 1914-1988, Yeo Pottery, Newhouse Cottage, Moor Lane, Clevedon, Somerset. Bill Janes began his own pottery at his home having worked at the nearby Fishley Holland pottery in Clevedon until it closed in 1977. He began his pottery career when he joined Fishley Holland in 1946 and his Yeo Pottery pieces have a similar feel to much of the Fishley Holland output.
