Pottery with a Difference
In the heart of the pretty Cheshire countryside is The Firs Pottery, built up by Joy and Ken Wild at Aston Crossroads, Whitchurch Road, Nantwich (A530).
You can browse in the two-story shop/showroom displaying an attractive range of stoneware (their specialities include oven and microwave ware, lamps, castle bowls, vases, planters and indoor fountains).
