Add to album

This transfer-printed and enamelled earthenware punch bowl was made by the Clyde Pottery Company of Greenock in Renfrewshire. It dates from between 1863 and 1900.

The bowl's body is decorated with a coronet and the Prince of Wales' feathers over a scroll inscribed with the motto 'ICH DIEN' which translates as, 'I serve'. The Prince of Wales later became Edward VII.

A pottery at Greenock was established in 1815 under the title of 'The Clyde Pottery Company'. It was run by Thomas Shirley & Co from the 1840s until 1857. Thereafter, it continued as the Clyde Pottery Company Ltd until 1863. From then until 1900 it was known as the Clyde Pottery Company and from 1900 until its closure in 1905, it reverted back to Clyde Pottery Company Ltd.
