Chamber pot or cooking pot
Add to album

This is a chamberpot or cooking pot from the site of a post-medieval kiln at Throsk in Stirlingshire. Large quantities of earthenware vessels were produced at Throsk, especially large jugs which may have been used for transporting beer and ale.

The handle is missing but the pot otherwise is complete.

By the early 17th century several families were involved in producing pottery, tiles and bricks in the Throsk area. They took advantage of local supplies of carse clay, and peat and coal for fuel.
