Season 5 of beloved show Great Pottery Throw Down drops on HBO on April 14th, and so we are looking back at some of the pieces seen in previous seasons.
Season 3 brings a new judge into the pottery – Sue Pryke. Sue works across a diverse genre of ceramics, from making bespoke ware for restaurants and hotels in her Leicestershire studio to designing for big brands such and Marks & Spencer and Ikea.
The first episode of Season 3 features a breakfast set challenge. The potters must make 2 cups, 2 saucers, toast rack, and cafetiere (French press).
As the judges discuss the challenge, they stand behind a table filled with a veritable pantheon of British pottery. Spode, Royal Doulton, Royal Worcester, Molly Hatch, Denby, Portmeirion, and Hannah Turner.
The first pattern to explore is Spode Blue Italian. The Spode Blue Italian design is based off of a 17th century landscape painting. Spode Blue Italian patterns have been produced since 1816 – a true classic.
