A second look at forgotten things
So Nearly Missed is an independent vintage shop with an eye for pieces that are unusual, beautifully made or simply too interesting to leave behind.
From my home in Cornwall, I seek out studio pottery, vintage glass, ceramics, art and curious objects—researching each find and carefully preparing it for its next home.
There are no mass-produced collections here. Just individual pieces with character, history and plenty of life left in them.
DISCOVER STUNNING CORNISH POTTERY
Made in Cornwall
Cornwall has an extraordinary pottery tradition, shaped by its landscape, creative independence and generations of influential makers.
From Bernard Leach and the internationally renowned Leach Pottery in St Ives to the unmistakable modernist designs of Troika, Cornish ceramics have earned a lasting place in British design history.
Alongside these celebrated names, I seek out Carn, Tremar and work by lesser-known local potters—choosing each piece for its craftsmanship, character and unmistakable sense of place.
