Add to album

This soft paste porcelain jug was made by William Reid's pottery at Newbiggin near Musselburgh in East Lothian. It was possibly produced as a special commemorative piece and is one of the most important examples of Reid's work.

The jug has a bulbous body bearing the arms and motto of the town of Musselburgh. The base is painted with 'Wm. Reid/ May 14 1882'.

Reid established a pottery at Newbiggin near Musselburgh at the beginning of the 19th century. He ran it until his death in 1835. After several changes of ownership, the pottery finally closed in 1928.
