Description: | The decorative art collection has been built up steadily over the years and includes some fine examples of earthenware, stoneware and porcelain from the principal English factories as well as Sussex Country Wares. It is particularly strong in nineteenth century wares and commemorative and souvenir pieces. The small but very find collection of English eighteenth and nineteenth century drinking glasses was mainly developed under the curatorship of Len Bickerton who is an authority on the subject. The Steyning Punch Bowl c.1790, with its engraved decoration is a special feature of the collection. There is also a small collection of mainly domestic silverware items. | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Chapel Road
