Tureen and dish

This earthenware tureen, cover and dish was made in the second half of the 19th century, possibly by J. Marshall of Bo'ness Pottery in West Lothian.

The tureen, cover and dish are transfer-printed with a pattern called 'Parma' which features a scene with a large house beside water. The tureen has a spreading fluted foot and two pierced grip handles. The cover has a domed top and pierced loop handle while the dish has eight concave sides, a fluted rim and a moulded grip handle.

Good supplies of coal and clay and easy transport by sea meant that the south side of the Firth of Forth was an ideal location for potteries to develop. Small-scale works existed there from the 17th century and larger factories developed from around 1750.
