Vase

This hand-decorated earthenware vase is an example of pottery produced around 1930 by limbless ex-servicemen who lived in the Kitchener Houses at Longniddry in East Lothian. The men's pottery was sold in an on-site gift shop.

It is painted in a variety of colours with a garland of flowers on a speckled green ground. Painted in black are the words 'STUMP.' and 'LONGNIDDRY.'

Good supplies of coal and clay and easy transport by sea meant that the south side of the Firth of Forth was an ideal location for potteries to develop. Small-scale works existed there from the 17th century and larger factories developed from around 1750.
