Jug & bowl

This unmarked glazed earthenware jug and bowl were possibly made by the Cumnock Pottery in Ayrshire. They date from the second half of the 19th century.

The jug is inscribed 'Dinna hain (conserve) the cream'. The bowl is inscribed 'Help yerself an' dinna be blate (shy)'.

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.
