In 1965, the pottery was the subject of a television documentary produced by Michael Darlow. The pottery scaled back its production in June 1993 when Caiger-Smith partially retired and stopped hiring assistants. It continued to operated commercially until it was sold in 2006, and the building has now been converted into a private dwelling. Reading Museum has an extensive collection of Aldermaston pottery by Caiger-Smith that is displayed in its Atrium gallery www.readingmuseum.org.uk.
