Cup & saucer

This transfer-printed earthenware cup and saucer were made by David Lockhart & Company's Victoria Pottery in Pollokshaws in Glasgow. They date from the 1860s or 1870s.

The pattern is called 'GLENESK'. It consists of an interlocking design of flower heads and stems.

The Victoria Pottery was originally established by David Lockhart and Charles Arthur in 1855. In 1864 Arthur resigned and the company became Lockhart & Company and later, the more distinctive David Lockhart & Company. In around 1888, Lockhart's sons joined the company and it became David Lockhart & Sons.
