Torquay pottery or Torquay ware refers to pottery made in Torquay, Devon, England, using local clay, at one of fifteen or so local potteries chiefly serving the tourist trade, but also supplying high-end retailers such as Liberty of London. The commonest form was mottoware pottery such as plates or jugs decorated with inspirational or humorous text, often written in a Devon dialect, thus known as Devon mottoware. The Watcombe Pottery existed for nearly one hundred years during which they produced a wonderful and varied amount of pottery much of it unique but also in the style and trends of Torquay and of the times.
