RecordPlatemade in Glasgow
PlateThis plate is one of eighteen from a pink porcelain dessert service made by the Glasgow potters J. and M.P. Bell & Company. The company started producing this type of porcelain service in the 1860s. The centre of each plate is decorated with a hand-painted view of Scottish scenery. This scene is entitled 'Cauldron Lynn'. Bells, one of the largest Scottish potteries, were aiming for the expanding middle-class market, with its growing interest in a romantic view of the Scottish landscape. Many Glasgow brides bought services similar to this for their best china cupboard. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
