Other than snuff jars the only marked sprigged item I know of is the giant jug in Glasgow Museum. Figure 1: Height 57cm (22.5 inches) it is marked WILM. MURRAY JNR CALEDONIAN POTTERY GLASGOW 2 NOVEMBER 1828. Pictured in O H & H it features many sprigs that can also be seen on various unmarked items. One of these is the signature Scottish sprig of three smokers sitting at a table Figure 2. It has three large sprigs that can be found on the two jugs, Figures 3 and 4. In my opinion, a number of smaller items can now be attributed to Caledonian Pottery through links with a cottage sprig (and possibly others, I am still working on it) found on the giant jug. They include the 1820 dated tobacco jar illustrated by Askey (page 136) and Browne Muggs (page 122). I will be assembling a group of illustrations at a later date. |
