Tea set

This porcelain tea set was made by the Glasgow potters J. & M.P. Bell & Company. The pattern is called 'Auburn' and the set dates from between 1842 and 1880.

The set shown consists of a cup, saucer, tea plate, cake plate, milk jug and slop bowl. The dregs from tea cups were emptied into the slop bowl.

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.
