Oxshott Pottery was started in 1920 at Oxshott in Surrey by Henry and Denise Wren. Their daughter Rosemary Wren was born there in 1922.

The pottery remained at Oxshott until 1978, shortly before Denise's death, and then moved to Exeter in Devon under the direction of Rosemary and her partner, Peter Crotty. Another move followed in 1982, to Newton Abbot, not far away, and then another in 1989 to Strathpeffer in Ross-shire, Scotland.
