Ballydougan Pottery
'Poppy' Wine Carafe €64.00
Ballydougan Pottery is run by master potter Sean O’Dowd. Ballydougan Pottery makes hand-made, hand-decorated country-themed, domestic ware. The designs feature flowers and fruit themes, inspired by their location in the orchard of Ireland. The Bramely collection is named after one of the most popular apple variety found in the country’s orchards.
Twenty-six years in business, Sean started by supplying gift sh[s from a barn on his farm. He bought Ballydougan, a historic house and expanded the business into a café and gift shop as well as workshops for pottery classes. All meals and drinks in the café are served in Ballydougan pottery. Sean introduces a new design every two years. Sweetpea will be launched at this year’s Showcase. Each piece is unique and therefore slight variations between similar products may exist. This is part of the charm and character of hand produced pottery.
The demesne now includes self-catering cottages, each featuring a traditional-style dresser stocked with Ballydougan ware for visitors to use.
