Mason Cash – The Origins
Mason Cash has been the choice of home bakers and cooks for centuries, but how did it all begin? The origins of this classic brand can be traced all the way back to a small town business called Pool Potteries operating in Church Gresley, Derbyshire in 1800. Being located close to raw materials and fuel sources, Church Gresley was an idyllic location for the business. Pool Potteries produced kitchen items made from ‘white and cane’ glazed earthenware, often called ‘yellow ware’ due to the colour of local clay. The business was run by a series of Master Potters, of whom the most colourful was a man called Mason, known widely for his bossiness in the business. This is where the name ‘Mason’ came from.
As time went on a man called Tom Cash acquired Pool Potteries in 1901, he changed the company name to ‘Mason Cash & Co’.
Mason Cash had been producing mixing bowls throughout the 1800’s, but it was in 1901 that they designed and manufactured the very first iconic Mason Cash mixing bowl. The design of the bowl has certainly endured the test of time and has become something of a design classic. The design of the iconic mixing bowl has barely altered since then, which is why the brand is still renowned for its innovative, classic kitchenware today.
