Highgrove, the private country home of King Charles III, has a new line of striped pottery for sale. The Highgrove x Cornishware collection was made with Cornishware Ceramics, and it is sold only through Highgrove's own shop. Town & Country reported the launch on October 22, 2026.

The range includes teapots, mugs, side plates, storage pots and dog bowls. Highgrove's product pages say the pieces are hand-cast from St Austell china clay, a fine white clay mined in Cornwall, in the far southwest of England. Town & Country reports that each piece passes through at least 25 pairs of skilled hands before it is finished.

The designs are striped, and the colors are the point. The collection's stripes come in King's Rose pink and sage green, the estate's signature shades. Town & Country describes it as the only two-tone design Cornishware has ever made. Other pieces follow a different palette. The 12-ounce mug is hand-banded in green and cream and carries the Highgrove crown, and so does the classic teapot, which is handmade and decorated in England. The side plate is banded in pink and green.

Highgrove sits near the town of Tetbury in Gloucestershire, in the Cotswolds, a region of rolling hills and honey-colored stone villages in western England. King Charles first arrived at the house in 1980. He now shares it with Queen Camilla.

The money goes to a charity. Proceeds from Highgrove shop sales go to The King's Foundation, which supports nature conservation, education and traditional craftsmanship. The foundation runs education programmes that offer training and learning to people of all ages and backgrounds. The Highgrove shop has also sold a jam and honey pot made with Cornishware, which uses the same striped design.

For American shoppers, the practical detail matters most. The collection is not sold through other stores, so anyone who wants a piece has to buy it from Highgrove directly. The shop's official Cornishware page lists the full range, and the product pages list the colors for each item.

The pottery is one of several crafts the estate has promoted this year. In March, Highgrove Gardens launched a fine bone china collection for its 2026 garden tour season, made by artisans in Stoke-on-Trent, the English city long known for its potteries. Highgrove Gardens is part of The King's Foundation.
