Thomas Brannam started on his own, after having worked for some years as a potter, in Barnstaple, Devon, in 1847. The name most usually associated with Brannam is that of Charles Hubert Brannam, Thomas’s son, born 1855. Charles started work at the pottery at the age of twelve. He was artistically inclined, and after many years trying, managed to persuade his father, in 1879, to let him experiment with the production of art pottery at their Litchdon Street works still in Barnstaple.
Brannam pottery is widely collected and due to the company’s long life something can be found to suit every collector’s pocket. The factory had been re-located to the edge of Barnstaple and has now ceased production.
