Bowl

This earthenware bowl was made around 1875 at David Methven & Sons' pottery at Kirkcaldy in Fife.

The sides of the bowl are decorated with a hunting scene featuring two figures.

The town of Kirkcaldy on the north shore of the Firth of Forth was one of the major centres of Scottish pottery production. In the second half of the 19th century it had four separate factories.
