In Bennettsbridge in County Kilkenny an early sixteenth century flour mill stands by the River Nore with its ducks and swans and grassy banks strewn with meadow flowers. Here, in 1985, local potter Nicholas Mosse set up a factory that now ships pieces hand made by local residents to buyers all over the world. Nicholas Mosse's traditional Irish pottery designs reflect the world around him, decorated with the scenery of rural Ireland. Patterns like Animal Landscape, Forget Me Not and the popular Clover bring a bit of Ireland everywhere they go.
