Plate

This transfer-printed earthenware plate was made by the Glasgow potters, J. & M.P. Bell & Co. Ltd. The pattern is called 'BLYTHSWOOD' and was registered in 1887.

The border pattern includes flowers on scrolled stems. The centre medallion contains a quatrefoil.

This company was one of the biggest and best known potteries in Scotland. It was founded by the brothers John and Matthew Perston Bell and was in production by 1842. After John's death in 1880, the new limited company continued production.
