Ashet
Add to album

An ashet is a large plate, platter or serving dish. This earthenware example was made by Robert Cochran & Company of the Verreville Pottery in Glasgow. It dates from the second half of the 19th century.

The centre is decorated with a lakes and mountains scene with five figures at the lakeside. The base is marked with the maker's details and the pattern name, 'SYRIA'.

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 of the biggest firms such as J & M P Bell and Robert Cochran's Verreville and Britannia potteries.
