the late 1950s, Jersey Pottery was back on its feet. The Jones family had developed a successful business by combining distinctive ceramics with a warm welcome for visitors, and the site continued to expand. In the early 1960s, the family developed the gardens behind the pottery. Planned by Jessie Jones, they featured flower beds, rose bushes, specimen trees, ponds and places to sit, offering a peaceful escape alongside the busy factory and showroom.","A destination in its own right","text","image-left",{"_id":459,"altText":460,"contentType":75,"focalPoint":461,"height":462,"posterStorageKey":10,"posterUrl":10,"storageKey":463,"url":10,"width":464},"266ff6df-6d29-4ecf-bf4e-22496b9a9c56","A refined high resolution version of the gardens at Jersey Pottery in the 1980s",{"x":68,"y":68},1792,"jpr/2026/10/00bc60eb-0e7e-49c7-8ae2-155f2c76cc62.png",2400,{"_key":466,"_type":452,"background":467,"body":468,"buttons":10,"eyebrow":10,"heading":469,"headingMode":456,"layout":470,"logoAsset":10,"media":471},"f0f9dc6858ff","ivory","In 1962, Jessie introduced another lasting tradition: the Smashing Pot. Visitors were invited to make donations to Island charities, which were collected inside large ceramic pots before a local dignitary ceremonially smashed them open each year. The first pot was smashed by Jersey’s Bailiff, Sir Robert Le Masurier. By the end of the decade, the initiative had raised more than £250,000, turning a distinctive pottery tradition into a significant contribution to Island life.","A little pot with a big purpose","image-right",{"_id":472,"altText":473,"contentType":75,"focalPoint":474,"height":475,"posterStorageKey":10,"posterUrl":10,"storageKey":476,"url":10,"width":477},"3fb9f95c-155d-4a14-a146-385a57e55f17","Jersey Pottery's smashing pot is smashed in the 1960s, releasing thousands of pounds in change for island charities",{"x":68,"y":68},723,"jpr/2026/10/877931e9-7001-4855-949e-08d6f829cdd9.png",892,{"_key":479,"_type":452,"background":453,"body":480,"buttons":10,"eyebrow":10,"heading":481,"headingMode":456,"layout":457,"logoAsset":10,"media":482},"235beeba7532"," As visitor numbers grew, so did the demand for somewhere to eat.
