Tile, made in Glasgow
Add to album

This tile was made between 1911 and 1920 at Fleming's pottery in Glasgow. Tiles were used in their thousands to decorate tenement entrances - known as 'walley closes'.

The tile's transfer-printed decoration features a basket of flowers and ferns. The tile is marked 'Fleming Tiles Britannia Pottery'.

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.
