Coalport China Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Ironbridge Gorge, England

The museum displays extensive collections of Coalport and Caughley china within original factory buildings along the River Severn and Coalport Canal.

John Rose established the Coalport China manufacturing facility in 1795 after training with potter Thomas Turner and later acquired the Caughley pottery production.

The museum maintains the tradition of ceramic craftsmanship through demonstrations of traditional techniques including clay molding and flower making in original workshops.

The museum offers one-day ceramic classes, provides disabled access facilities, and remains open from Wednesday to Sunday with specific holiday season schedules.

The Northumberland Vase, displayed at the museum, represents the largest piece ever manufactured at the Coalport China factory.
