A surprise for Scottish visitors like ourselves to see something from so close to home (Wemyss ware is made in Ceres, Fife Image but no picture of the pottery or shop yet) in Devon. It turns out that the Bovey Pottery in 1930 brought the head Wemyss artist, Joseph Nekola, from Scotland to produce Wemyss Ware in Devon.
