The Pennine range of oven-to-tableware was designed by Eric Owen in the early 1960s, and first went on sale in 1965. Advances in ceramic technology meant that ware could be created that could withstand such changes in temperature. An extremely popular innovation, many people recognise this range of cookware from their childhoods.

Owen was chief modeller and sculptor for Wedgwood from 1946 to 1967 and a free lance modeller with facilities at Barlaston from 1967 until his death. He was born in the Potteries and was apprentice to a tile factory before joining Minton where he was chief modeller for 25 years. During his time with Wedgwood Owen was responsible for modelling many tableware shapes as well as a number of portrait medallions. He travelled and lectured widely, teaching for a short period at the Royal College of Art and was elected a member of the Society of Industrial Artists in 1957.
