Wall plaque

Add to album

This wall plaque was made around 1923 by the Britannia Pottery Co. Ltd. of Glasgow.

The plaque's pattern, 'Omar Kayam', was registered as a trade mark in 1923.

The Clyde basin, like the Forth, was a natural location for the pottery industry, with a ready supply of coal, a growing market and good transport links.
