Soup plate (detail)This detail shows two marks of the Glasgow potters, J. & M.P. Bell & Company. One mark is transfer-printed and the other is one of Bell's impressed trademarks. They are on the base of a transfer-printed earthenware soup plate dating from between 1842 and 1880. There were many variations in Bell's marks. The transfer-printed mark consists of a branch of vine leaves with the pattern name 'VINE BORDER' and the company initials 'J. & M.P.B. & Co' underneath. Like many other potteries in the second half of the 19th century, Bell's most popular ware was transfer-printed earthenware, which was durable, decorative and affordable by the masses. Some designs were extremely well produced. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
