Coalport China Museum

See brilliant examples of Coalport and Caughley china as well as traditional ceramic decorating in these former china factory buildings.

The Victorians loved tea! No wonder they made such exquisite china cups & pots.

You’ll be amazed by the spectacular treasures made in these quirky buildings – from elaborate statuesque vases to hand-painted miniatures, they were made for everyone from wealthy families to Queens and Tsars. See traditional techniques in riverside workshops, dress-up in the Children’s gallery and step inside the atmospheric kilns.

All of the Museums will close at 2.30pm on Tuesday 11 December for staff development & briefing. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
