Mason Cash has been the choice of bakers for centuries. It’s origins can be traced as far back as 1800, to a pottery operating at Church Gresley in the heart of the English ceramic industry. Locat- ed close to all the raw material and fuel sourc- es required to make ceramics, It had fantastic transport links to take finished goods all over the UK and the world. The pottery produced kitchen items made from ‘white and cane’ glazed earthenware, which is sometmes referred to as ‘yellow ware’ due to the colour of the local clay. ‘bargeware’ is also a phrase that is used, as it was packed onto barges and sent to market. A series of Master Potters, of whom the most colourful was ‘Bossy’ Mason, is where the ‘Ma- son’ name came from in the 1800’s. Tom Cash acquired the pottery in 1901 and renamed the company Mason Cash & Co. The heritage brand had been producing mixing bowls during the 1800’s, but in 1901 they de- signed and manufactured the very first iconic Mason Cash mixing bowl. The design of the bowl has endured the test of time, becoming an icon In the British homewares industry. In fact, the design has barely altered since then. With the introduction of many more colours in the range, the demand for bowls, pudding basins as well as the oven to tableware remains extremely popular in the catering industry.
