Edwin Beer Fishley, born 1832, took over the running of the pottery founded by his grandfather at Fremington, North Devon, when his father died in 1860. Coming from an old family of well established potters, he was well trained in the arts of throwing and slip decoration. His earthenware pots were made of clay from the local pits that provided clay for potteries at Bideford and Barnstaple.
There was a ready market for his work; his customers were farmers and the local well-to-do.
Among these were the Cardew family who had a country house at nearby Braunton. As a child, Michael Cardew was taken on regular visits to see Mr Fishley throwing and to select new pottery from the latest firing. It was E B Fishley who inspired Cardew to become a potter. On Edwin's death in 1912 the Cardews found that no-one else made pots like Mr Fishley.
Michael, some years later after struggling through his classics course at Oxford, started potting so that he could make pots in the English tradition.
There are some very minor knicks -some of which are difficult to disseminate between damage and underglaze lumps and bumps etc - but certainly no problematic chips, cracks or restoration is visible
