Ceramics collections at Stoke-on-Trent Museums

The finest collection of Staffordshire ceramics in the world including items from the Minton Museum sale.

Over 5,000 pieces are on display in our galleries. These explain the history of the pottery industry, both manufacture and design.

Gallery improvements are underway. Visitors are advised to check in advance that any items they wish to see will be on display.

The emphasis is on products of the Staffordshire manufacturers. Recent additions include items from the former Minton Museum collection.

Some highlights of the collection are also available to explore online by related factory or person. A series of research resources about ceramics is also available.
