Dudson Collection

Collection

Stepping inside what is believed to be the only bottle oven in Stoke-on-Trent accessible to the public, reveals the dazzling Dudson Collection. The converted bottle oven on the original factory site is now the home to over 1,000 exhibits which bring to life over two hundred years of the production of Dudson ceramics.

Exhibits include Staffordshire figures, jasperware, relief-moulded stoneware, ebony ware, mosaic and present day catering ware. There are also thousands of shards excavated on site together with other archive material.
