Granville

Responding to the demand for rustic kitchens, T G Green launched the Granville range as the sixties shifted into the seventies. It was named after a small area about a mile or so from its Church Gresley base.

A rich palette of earth tones, it had a pale honey bulbous body with umber tones washed on the rims and handles. Its signature typography was a condensed elongated black serif, although some pieces came adorned with script.

Flour and bread crocks and cheese domes were the centre pieces of the collection although the mainstays were the oven to tableware. The early casseroles were traditional oval ones or deep casserole pots, although these eventually gave way to the more modern round shape. Bakeware came in the form of rectangular baking dishes, together with ones for the seventies favourites of souffles and flans.

Lettered jars had the fashionable cork lids of the day, but the traditional Victorian style tall jars had pottery ones.
