Pearlware Jug - Mary Clark 1802

Earlier in the week I spoke of a visit to the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter. You can read my post HERE & see some photographs of the various plaques at Grave Encounters.

One of the images that I did not show was this little lovely item

The details on the information card revealed that it was named for Mary Clark of Berrynarbour and shows the date of 1802.

The pearlware jug was made at the Swansea Pottery in South Wales. This type of pottery became popular in the late 1700s as a cheap and hard wearing alternative to porcelain. Much of the white clay was extracted from the Teign Valley in South Devon, actually not too far from where I live. It was mixed with flint to produce the required colour and pearlware was an improved lighter colour

Plaques at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter. You can read the post over at Anglers Rest. As I walked through the museum there were a few plaques that were worth photographing and sharing here.

All of these were located on the first floor of the Museum and I do apologise for the condition of the third photograph. It was located in a corner and almost obscured by a large totem pole, hence the slight fuzziness!

The Orangery, Teignmouth Devon

Yesterday we explored the local spot of the Orangery at Teignmouth. You can read that post HERE. Even in this small historical location there were a few plaques and I photographed them and shall post them here, but first a general view of the Orangery.

Located on a bench at the rear of the main Bitton House Building

Haldon Aerodrome - Wing Commander William R Parkhouse MBE

This commemoration plaque and stone is located at Haldon, which is owned by the National Trust and was the site of Haldon Aerodrome
