Soup plate (detail)This detail shows a transfer-printed and an impressed mark of the Glasgow potters, J. & M.P. Bell & Company. The marks are on the base of a transfer-printed soup plate dating from between 1842 and 1880. There were many variations in Bell's marks. The transfer-printed mark here consists of a cartouche of vine leaves with the design name 'VENETIAN' in the centre. Underneath are the company's initials 'J & M.P.B. & Co.' By the middle of the 19th century, the area of Glasgow and the Clyde basin was undoubtedly the heartland of the Scottish pottery industry, with several of the biggest firms such as J. & M. P. Bell and Robert Cochran's Verreville and Britannia potteries. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
