Tureen with lid & plate

This transfer-printed earthenware tureen with lid and plate were made by the Glasgow potters, J. & M.P. Bell & Company. They date from between 1842 and 1880.

The pattern is called 'ITALIAN LAKES'. The tureen lid has a cut out for a ladle.

By the middle of the 19th century, the area of Glasgow and the Clyde basin was undoubtedly the heartland of the Scottish pottery industry, with several of the biggest firms such as J. & M. P. Bell and Robert Cochran's Verreville and Britannia potteries.
