A gem of a shop my son introduced me to whilst visiting him in Rye - inspirational and uplifting just walking in! The staff are a pleasure to speak to and go the extra mile to assist, whether at the shop or online. The products speak for themselves!
5. Rye Pottery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
Rye Pottery is a contemporary design-led company in Sussex, England. Bridging the gap between studio & industry, we occupy an increasingly rare position as a small British production pottery. We’re renowned for our beautiful hand-made homewares & unique decorative accessories, with countless awards & pieces held in galleries & design collections around the world. Hand-made & painted in Sussex since 1793, every single one of our pots goes through a minimum of 10 hand processes before it is finished. Our designs feature an unusual & time-consuming 17th Century decorating technique, known as Faience, Majolica or Delft. We call it English Delftware. Come and see us in our shop at the bottom of Mermaid Street. Watch our skilled decorators at work & discover a selection of one-offs, samples & "seconds" alongside hand-painted kitchen & bathroom tiles, stylish homewares, charming figures based on English Animals & Birds, plus Chaucer's Canterbury Tales & the 1066 Battle of Hastings.

Reviewed By Vinylman101 - Newquay, United Kingdom
If you are seeking vinyl gold, here is one place not to miss. Housed in an historic building, there is a huge range of vinyl etc on sale. It is very easy to spend three hours just looking through the stock and if you are collecting, checking it against your list of wants whether as a first copy or upgrade a worn out one, this is the place to do it. I'd go more often but live over 200 miles away so it's a bit of a trip.
