text:
Torquay pottery or Torquay ware is pottery made in Torquay, Devon, England, using local clay, at one of fifteen or so local potteries chiefly serving the tourist trade, but also supplying high-end retailers such as Liberty of London. The commonest form was mottoware - pottery such as plates or jugs decorated with inspirational or humorous text, often written in a Devon dialect, and thus known as Devon mottoware. Some items were produced in Cornish dialect, for "export" to, and sale in, Cornwall.
