Ac nid cyfrwng siarad mohoni ond costrel - costrel sy'n dal ac yn gwarchod diwylliant, ac mae hwnnw yn ei dro yn gysylltiedig a rhai o'r bobl orau y cefais y fraint o'u nabod.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The raw terracotta surfaces of these wares were occasionally graced by commemorative illustration such as the charmingly simple inscribed drawing of a locomotive which adorns a costrel made by Charles Budden at the Verwood Pottery in Dorset, quite possibly celebrating the coming of the railway to the district in 1864.
