Mason Cash has been the choice of home cooks and bakers for centuries. The origins of Mason Cash can be traced back to a pottery operating at Church Gresley in the heart of the English ceramic industry. Located close to all the raw material and fuel sources required to make ceramics, it had fantastic transport links to take finished goods all over the UK and beyond. The pottery became known for producing kitchen items made from ‘white and cane’ glazed earthenware sometimes known as ‘yellowware’ due to the colour of the local clay, or ‘bargeware’ as it was packed onto barges and sent to market. The pottery was run by a series of Master Potters of whom the most colourful was William ‘Bossy’ Mason. During the 1800s the pottery was named after him, and when Tom Cash acquired it in 1901, he renamed it Mason Cash & Co. Although Mason Cash had produced mixing bowls during the 1800s, in 1901 they designed and manufactured the very first iconic Mason Cash mixing bowl. The bowl’s design has endured the test of time and has become something of a design classic in the housewares industry. The demand for Mason Cash in the catering industry has remained extremely popular due to the introduction of new pieces, colours and shapes.
