The History of Rye Pottery

We hope to add lots to this section, but in the meantime, why not take a look at our Rye Pottery Designers page, where you’ll find:

>> Information about Rye Pottery’s post-war owners Wally and Jack Cole.
>> Links to their own studio work in the V&A Collection
>> Links to the 1950s Rye Pottery  in the British Museum’s collection at the Museum of The Home
>> Links to the 1950s Rye Pottery now housed in the V&A’s collection.

Or why not take a look at two of highly-collected and traditional ranges Sussex Pigs and Cottage Stripe.

>> There’s also a great page about the History of Rye Pottery at our wonderful local Museum, The Rye Museum, who have a teriffic collection to boot.
