mima’s British Ceramic Art collection is a seminal collection of more than 250 items by approximately ninety internationally recognised ceramists. The collection charts the development of the Studio Pottery movement from the early 20th Century through to the present day.

The growing collection also contains works in clay by makers and artists not traditionally associated with this media.

The collection includes key pieces by Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, Martin Smith, James Tower, Walter Keeler and Alison Britton among others.
