Add to album
These earthenware flasks shaped as left ankle boots were made in the 19th century, probably by Charles Belfield's Pottery at Prestonpans in East Lothian.
The flasks are brown mottled Rockingham glazed inside and out.
Pottery has been made in Scotland since prehistoric times, but it was not until the 18th century that domestic pottery began to be mass produced on an industrial scale. By the early 1800s, potteries in Musselburgh, Portobello and Prestonpans, all near Edinburgh, were producing a wide range of wares, from soft-paste porcelain to transfer-printed earthenware.
