The pottery was home to a succession of students and apprentices that almost comprise a complete who's who of studio pottery, including Michael Cardew. The “Standard Ware” range was started in the late 1930's and all members of the pottery, including Bernard and his son’s David & Michael, helped in its production. Standard Ware continued to be made until Bernard's death it was sold at some of London's stores including Liberty and John Lewis.
