PlaqueThis glazed and painted earthenware plaque was possibly made at one of the Portobello potteries in Midlothian. It dates from the early 19th century. The plaque depicts two little girls, arm in arm, with two insects flying above and two small bushes underneath. 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. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
