 Located on the second floor of the Museum is a permanent collection
of fine and decorative
arts, cultural history, and
industrial artifacts, nearly all
of which were manufactured in Trenton.
By 1880 there were hundreds of independent potteries operating within the city of Trenton. The Museum houses an extensive collection of ceramic and porcelain wares, including redware, stoneware, yellow ware, ironstone, tile, architectural terra-cotta, and art pottery. While there are many fine examples of each of these, the collection concentrates on table and art porcelain, particularly from Trenton's most successful manufacturer, the Ceramic Art Company and its successor, Lenox. In addition, Trenton's contemporary art potteries - Boehm and Cybis - are also represented in collections each has donated to the museum. For more information about the Museum's permant collection, contact the Trenton Museum Society's Collections Committee at collections@ellarslie.org.
