Tureen

This transfer-printed earthenware tureen was made by the Glasgow potters, J. & M.P. Bell & Company. The design was registered in 1853.

The pattern is called 'VICTORIA SCROLL'. The tureen has an everted rim, a loop handle at either side and four paw feet.

This company, which became one of the biggest and best known potteries in Scotland, was founded by the brothers John and Matthew Perston Bell and was in production by 1842. The Glasgow Pottery, or 'Bells' as it was more commonly known, produced a wide range of wares.
