Soup plate

This transfer-printed earthenware soup plate was made by the Glasgow potters, J. & M.P. Bell & Company. It dates from around 1862.

The pattern is called 'Kensington'.

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.
