Description:The Pomona Pottery Collection was given the name after being excavated from a site near The Pomona Inn in 1967. The excavation of the site unearthed thousands of small ‘wasters’ (discarded ceramic objects that were damaged or deformed during firing), which were later reconstructed for public viewing. It is presumed that the wasters represent one or two unsuccessful firings. The potter William Steers was trying imitate Chinese porcelain, which was much sought after during the period.
