Teacup and saucer

This teacup and saucer were made in the 1820s, possibly by Reid's Pottery of Musselburgh in East Lothian. They are made of white soft paste porcelain.

The teacup and saucer are decorated with painted flowers.

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.
