Add to album

This is the front of a Wemyss ware letter stand made at Robert Heron & Sons' pottery at Kirkcaldy in Fife. The stand dates from between 1883 and 1930.

The stand has three sections for letters and is hand-painted with sweet peas.

In the 19th century, potteries grew in number to meet the increased demand. The largest firms were near the Forth and Clyde rivers and Kirkcaldy became a major centre for potteries. Robert Heron & Co. were famous for their prestigious Wemyss ware.
