A collection of 58 ceramics plus sketches and 2 design books representing the best of the C H Brannam Ltd's own collection. The company's demise in 2005 signified the end of a 700 year old North Devon pottery industry. Charles Hubert Brannam started by creating classically inspired designs but soon created a new range using the characteristic blue and chocolate colour scheme. The wide range was popular and his clients included the Royal Family and Liberty's.
