Description

Rumney Pottery is a house and pottery building. The house is two storeys tall, featuring thick walls made of roughcast rendered stone rubble, topped with a machine tile roof and brick centre ridge and off-ridge stacks. It has a two-window range of wide 20th-century casement windows on either side of a round-arched doorway, which includes a recessed part-glazed door.

Adjoining the house to the right (south) is the pottery workshop, constructed of rendered stone and brick. This workshop has a two-window range on the first floor, while the ground floor features a central door and a workshop window to the left, a smaller boarded door with a small adjacent light, and a projecting wing with a catslide roof to the right. The workshop range faces the river and former quay, showcasing a small-pane window in the left gable end, below which is a large painted sign reading 'Pottery'. Another window with a cambered head is partially concealed by outshuts, and there is a lower long cross range extending to the right with a similar half-concealed window, along with lean-tos at the front.

Inside the pottery, there is a complex of showroom, workshops, and office rooms spread across two storeys and an attic. The main ground floor room, the showroom, has thin ceiling joists. On the upper floor, there is a brick beehive kiln with metal bands dating from around 1850, which is notable for being integrated into a workshop and was previously visible above the roof. An adjacent attic once served as a drying room for pots before firing. The kiln was fired with coal and finished with wood to melt the lead glaze. The house features a central hall with rooms on either side; to the left, a beam is papered over, while to the right, the beams are lightly chamfered and stopped.
