Puzzle jug

This earthenware puzzle jug was made around 1836 by Musselburgh Pottery in Midlothian.

The jug has a pierced upper body and a lower body painted with a band of polychrome flowers. The base is marked `10th October 1836 P J Muss`.

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.
