Ashtead Pottery was an enterprise giving work to disabled war veterans from the Great War, and to "assist in the reconstruction of rural life". It only lasted 12 years but produced some very individualistic pottery, often in art Deco styles, which now commands impressive prices; their most famous produce was the 1924 Empire Exhibition's "Empire Lions" souvenir. Come along and hear much, much more from Professor Anne Andersen.
