Teapot, made in Prestonpans, East LothianThis earthenware teapot was made by Belfield and Co. of Prestonpans in East Lothian. It dates from the late 19th century. Belfields were well known for their 'Rockingham' or brown glazed teapots - known as 'Broon Coos'. The teapot has unusual etched decoration featuring a leaf design and is marked 'Belfield/Prestonpans'. 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 Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
