History

Belonged to G.F. Macdonald's maternal grandmother (Janet Tait) c.1750, Brought from Scotland, Berkshire, Scotland, Feb.10, 1848 to August 21, 1921. type of ware produced briefly here at Pottersville Tin-glazed ware, largely inspired by Italian, Dutch and Chinese models, was made at Lambeth, Bristol, Liverpool, Dublin and Belfast, but had little effect on the main current of the English tradition as represented by wares of Staffordshire, where delftware (as this is called) was never made. English delftware was painted in high-temperature colours; over glaze enamels were used only on very rare examples and were probably the work of Dutch independent enamellers. Delftfield pottery: this is one of the earliest Scottish Potteries. After many unsuccessful trials the first good kiln was drawn in February 1749. As the name implies, Delft-type wares produced at first but Wedgwood type cream wares were produced from the 1770's; later, porcelain and basalt wares were made. The pottery was closed in 1810. Although a large quantity of pottery must have been produced at the Delftfied Pottery no marked specimens are known. In England examples are probably attributed to the Stratfordshire potteries.
