Tile, made in Glasgow

Add to album

This tile was made between 1902 and 1920 at Fleming's pottery in Glasgow.

The tile is moulded with a snuff-taking figure.

The Clyde basin, like the Forth, was a natural location for the pottery industry, with a ready supply of coal, a growing market and good transport links.
