This is a highly collectable and rare piece of antique Scottish pottery.

It is a stunning large bulbous bottle vase with a tall tubular neck.

It is 10 inches in height with a diameter at the widest point of 6 1/2 inches.

It dates to the 1920s - and indeed it is dated 1924 on the base. 

It is all hand-painted with a very attractive pattern of pale lemon-orange fruits (not sure if we have an apple or orange depicted here) and with a sprinkling of black and wine-coloured berries - all around the pot. I think that they might be blueberries. 

It is marked to the base Mak Merry in yellow paint.

It is in good antique condition with no damages. It is nice and clean inside.

I have had a similar little squat pot sold in my shop a little while back. 

These pots are getting just so much harder to find - and my price for this old piece of unique Scottish pottery is certainly a fair one.

The bottle vase may at one time had a little domed lid - but this is now missing. But it does look quite stunning without it. Have taken lots of images for your inspection. 

HISTORY: The MakMerry pottery grew out of the Scottish Women's Rural Institute, which was founded in 1917 in the Scottish town Macmerry by Catherine Blair.

Catherine had previously been an active Suffragist, campaigning for 'Votes for Women' and had a history of promoting female independence and equality. She became involved in the suffragette movement was by writing countless letters to the press about the plight of women.

In 1920 MakMerry was set up as the trading arm of the Institute. Initially, members invested small sums of money and produced food items for sale – but they soon moved into producing fine craftworks as well – one of the crafts was pottery decoration. They hand-painted smaller household items such as plates, shallow bowls, lidded pots and the sweetest teapots – and all these are instantly identifiable and often featured delicate and stylized floral patterns.

UK POSTAGE ONLY.  It will be posted with Parcelforce48 - so that it is insured and tracked in transit This will cost about £10 and applied at checkout.
