Jug

Add to album

This soft paste porcelain jug was possibly made at one of the potteries in Musselburgh in East Lothian. It dates from the early 19th century.

The jug has a cream glaze and is decorated with sprigs of blue flowers.

From 1750 onwards, large-scale potteries were established on the south side of the Firth of Forth, at Prestonpans, Prestongrange, West Pans, Musselburgh and Portobello. Much of the skilled workforce came from the older established Staffordshire potteries.
