MPRG was founded in 1975 to bring together people with an interest in vessels made, traded and used in Europe between the end of the Roman period and the 16th century. Its mandate has since expanded to include pottery of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond, as well as post-Roman building materials ceramic.

The membership includes professional and non-professional archaeologists actively involved in the study of ceramics as well as those with a general interest or of ceramics who are involved with archaeological / historical societies. Institutional members include universities, archaeological and local units, regional and national museums.
