Poole Pottery is a British pottery brand owned by Denby Pottery Company, with the products made in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. It was founded as a manufacturer in 1873 on Poole quayside in Dorset where it produced pottery, before moving its factory operations in 1999 to a new site in Sopers Lane until its closure in 2006.
The company generally specialised in earthenware, although other bodies such as stoneware were periodically produced.
Key designers that worked with the company include Truda Carter, Robert Jefferson, Leslie Elsden, Guy Sydenham and Tony Morris. These individuals help create some of Poole's most well-known ranges including Traditional, Twintone, Delphis and Agean.
Historical products from Poole Pottery are displayed in museums including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
