Dish

This earthenware dish was made by John Thomson & Sons of Annfield Pottery in Glasgow's Gallowgate. It dates from the late 19th century.

The pattern is called 'CHANTILLY'. The centre is decorated with a transfer-printed oriental-style tree with leaves and flowers, surrounded by a band of orange lustre. The edges are decorated with a Greek key pattern, coloured with orange lustre.

By the middle of the 19th century, the area of Glasgow and the Clyde basin was undoubtedly the heartland of the Scottish pottery industry, with several large pottery firms. Annfield Pottery operated from about 1826 to 1887.
