Aldermaston Pottery

Aldermaston Pottery was a pottery workshop in Aldermaston, Berkshire, England, founded by the ceramic artist Alan Caiger-Smith in the 1950s. It became associated with handmade ceramics, distinctive glaze decoration, and the revival of traditional pottery techniques. Its output included tableware, decorative pottery, and other ceramic works. The pottery later ceased production and is now chiefly remembered as a historical name in British studio pottery and the collecting market.

Aldermaston Pottery was established in Aldermaston, Berkshire, England, in 1955 by the ceramic artist Alan Caiger-Smith. The workshop focused on handmade pottery and developed an identity through glaze decoration and traditional firing techniques. Its output included both functional vessels and decorative ceramics. The pottery occupies a place in the history of post-war British studio pottery, and its works subsequently became associated with the art-ceramics and collectors' markets. The workshop eventually ceased operating, although the precise closing date is not sufficiently confirmed here.
