Soup plate, made in Glasgow
Add to album

This earthenware soup plate was made around 1760 at the Delftfield factory in Glasgow.

The plate is decorated with a floral pattern. The flat rim of the plate bears the crest of Murray of Polmaise.

With the Delftfield factory, Glasgow can lay claim to the first 'industrial' pottery in Scotland. This was established on the banks of the Clyde west of the Broomielaw in 1748, and as its name suggests, began making Delftware, or tin glazed earthenware.
