The Pottery, Nantgarw is a post-medieval industrial pottery kiln located in the village of Nantgarw in Glamorgan, Wales. The site dates from the early nineteenth century, when it was established as part of the wider ceramic manufacturing enterprise that developed in the South Wales valleys during the Georgian and early Victorian periods. The pottery at Nantgarw is historically significant for its association with the production of high-quality porcelain, particularly during the period when the works operated under the direction of William Billingsley and other potters who sought to establish competitive porcelain manufacture in Wales. The surviving kiln structure represents an important example of early industrial pottery infrastructure and contributes to the archaeological record of nineteenth-century ceramics production in South Wales.
