Dish

This leaf-shaped earthenware dish was possibly made at West Pans in East Lothian. It is said to have come from Dalkeith Palace and dates from the late 18th century.

The dish has a heart-shaped flat base, fluted sides and a horizontal L-shaped handle of two intertwining stems.

From 1750 onwards, large-scale potteries were established on the south side of the Firth of Forth, at Prestonpans, Prestongrange, West Pans, Musselburgh and Portobello. Much of the skilled workforce came from the older established Staffordshire potteries.
