A Collector’s Eye is Oxford Ceramics Gallery’s celebration of the life and legacy of Yorkshire collector W. A. Ismay (1910-2001). He created one of the most comprehensive collections of British studio pottery between 1955 and 2001 now permanently housed at the Centre of Ceramic Art in York Museum. His time, dedication and personal support given to more than 500 potters over his lifetime – resulting in a scholarly collection of over 3,600 works – helped to shape many careers and to build many lasting networks and friendships.
