RecordSoup platemade in Glasgow
Soup plateThis earthenware soup plate was made by the Glasgow potters J. & M.P. Bell. It dates from the second half of the 19th century or early 20th century and was exported to South East Asia. The plate's border has been sponge-printed with a repeated scroll and trefoil design. The centre design has a ring of the same sponge-printed pattern around a plain circle with dots. This company was one of the biggest and best known potteries in Scotland. It was founded by the brothers John and Matthew Perston Bell and was in production by 1842. After John's death in 1880, the new limited company continued production. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
