Potteries Museum, Stoke 2005

As its name suggests, the Potteries Museum houses a huge collection of pots made in the Potteries area of England. The studio pottery collector Henry Bergen bequeathed his pots to the museum and these are displayed together with more recent studio work by potters such as Phil Rogers, Mike Dodd and Richard Batterham. The museum has a wonderful collection of Staffordshire slipware including some amazing Thomas Toft chargers.
