Description
The National Museum of Australian Pottery is located in the town of Holbrook, New South Wales.
It holds over 2000 pieces of domestic Australian pottery made in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The pieces in the collection were made by more than 130 Australian potteries and includes items such as tea pots, jugs, water filters, spruce and ginger beer bottles.
The museum includes work by the convict potter, Jonathon Leak (1777-1838). Leak's pieces are the earliest marked pieces of Australian pottery. Many of the Leak pieces on display were recovered from a clay pit in Sydney during an archaeological dig in 2007.
