About the Collections
Over the years we have been collecting pottery items made by various companies in this area and we now have over 20,000 pieces. Items have been numbered and catalogued and entered into a database. At present we do not have pictures and information available to the public. This project is going to address these issues, as well we have photographed 5000 of the pieces. Once we have compiled the digital content and information the next step will be to integrate it all into the website.
Approximate number of objects in the collections: 20000
