The origins of the pottery that make these bowls can be traced back to 1800. They started by making mixing bowls and pudding basins, later diversifying into bowls for cats and dogs.

This sturdy bowl is made from 'Caneware', so called due to its colour. Its weight means it cannot be tipped over or pushed around, whilst its thick sides ensure food and water keep cool.

This classic design has remained unchanged for 70 years.
