Loving cup

This Wemyss ware loving cup was made at Robert Heron's Pottery in Kirkcaldy in Fife between 1882 and 1930.

The loving cup has three handles and is hand-painted with sweet peas.

In the 19th century, potteries grew in number to meet the increased demand. The largest firms were near the Forth and Clyde rivers and Kirkcaldy became a major centre for potteries. Robert Heron & Co. were famous for their prestigious Wemyss ware.
