Only recently recognized for its many contributions to ceramics
found throughout the world, the Scottish pottery industry has
existed for more than two hundred years. Rather than compete with
England's famed potteries to the south, Scotland focused on the
export market, sending its colorful and decorative wares to
America, Canada, and many parts of Southeast Asia. Widely enjoyed,
these popular and affordable wares were usually not marked. Their
Scottish origin, therefore, remained largely unknown and--until
now--unappreciated. This book sets the record straight. Over 630
striking color photographs showcase the multi-hued dinnerware,
vases, plaques, figurines, and other ceramic items that can now be
rightfully attributed to the prolific Scottish potteries. Separate,
descriptive chapters feature brief histories of the most important
potteries, a discussion of the wares produced, listings of the
pottery descriptions and patterns, plus relevant readings.
Additional chapters highlight spongeware techniques, Scottish jugs,
and the "Glasgow Girls"--talented pottery painters from the late
nineteenth century. This invaluable resource also includes values
for all items, a helpful glossary, and a detailed index.
