Jug, made in Glasgow
Add to album

This creamware jug was made around 1820 at John Geddes' Verreville pottery and glass works in Glasgow. It is also painted with the company's name and may have been an advertising piece.

The jug has a small moulded foot, a wide straight-sided neck and a high curved pouring lip opposite a loop handle. It is decorated with a transfer printed pattern taken from David Allan's illustrations of Allan Ramsay's poem 'The Gentle Shepherd'.

The name 'Verreville' means glass town and emphasises that the firm originally produced glass as well as pottery.
