Teapot

This redware teapot was made by the Cumnock Pottery in Ayrshire. It dates from the second half of the 19th century.

The neck is inscribed with the motto 'Tak' a cup o' Kindness for Auld Lang Syne', based on a line from Robert Burns's poem 'Auld Lang Syne'.

A pottery was originally established in Cumnock by James Taylor in 1792. In the second half of the 19th century it became well known for its 'couthy' motto ware.
