Sections of garden edging

These two stoneware sections of garden edging were made at Charles Belfield's Pottery in Prestonpans in East Lothian. They date from the late 19th century.

Each section consists of a rectangular block with a scallop shell set onto the top.

From 1750 onwards, large-scale potteries were established on the south side of the Firth of Forth, at Prestonpans, Prestongrange, West Pans, Musselburgh and Portobello. Much of the skilled workforce came from the older established Staffordshire potteries.
