Mould

This plaster mould for the upper surface of a circular plate is dated 1830 and was later used at at Charles Belfield's Pottery in Prestonpans in East Lothian.

The mould has relief basket weave pattern and a scalloped edge. It is inscribed on the underside 'Block / 24 May / 1830'.

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.
