Honiton pottery, founded in 1763. Nothing remains of the original works but the present pottery was established in 1881. It formerly made simple pottery from local clay; today it makes artistic products. Present kiln and machinery are modern but traditional methods are used and an older-type thrower's wheel has been preserved.
