Established about 1800 at Garngadhill, in the north
of Glasgow it moved to Rutherglen between 1872 and
1874. Trading as Murray & Co. it continued there
until 1897, when it went into liquidation. Purchased
by the jam maker Hartley to manufacture their
stoneware jars it also continued offering its
previous range of products and finally closed in
1929. Excavations on the Rutherglen site have
recorded a huge amount of ceramic waste but, I
believe, no sprigged jugs. It is likely that salt
glazing was discontinued after the move to
Rutherglen, I don't think the Garngadhill site has
been excavated.

Portobello (eventually A.W. Buchan)
1878 - 1972 |
| |
Derek Askey mentions Portobello
making jugs and jars with sprigged hunting and
sporting scenes when owned by W. & C. Smith (pre
1840). If this is the case I have seen
none illustrated. Fleming attributed to Portobello
sprigged flasks now believed to have been made in
Glasgow.
Buchan would appear to be the source of many weakly moulded jugs,probably made in more recent times. |

Boilly (1761-1845) print.
