Staffordshire Earthenware Jug, 17th century, and Plate by Shoji Hamada.

Its strength is undoubtedly its internationally renowned collection of early 20th century British pioneer studio pottery (Martin Brothers, Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada, Michael Cardew et al).

There is also small craft collection comprising calligraphy, baskets, bronzes, Oriental carvings, glass ware, Welsh folk craft and ethnographic material though we no longer actively collect in these areas.
