This porcelain mug was thought to have been made at the Verreville Pottery in Glasgow. It dates from the mid 19th century.

The front of the mug has a painted mountain landscape contained within a heart-shaped panel. The rim and foot of the mug are gilded.

By the middle of the 19th century, the area of Glasgow and the Clyde basin was undoubtedly the heartland of the Scottish pottery industry. The Glasgow potteries produced a wide range of wares, from high quality porcelain to the ubiquitous transfer printed earthenware.
