This is an attractive Scottish pottery ceramic quaich that dates to around the 1920s or early 1930s.
The decoration is hand-painted by Richard Amour (his indistinct monogram is on the base, as well as the letters E.S.).
The decoration is painted onto a blank. It was common in the early 20th century for small Scottish potteries to have white ceramics supplied and decorators would paint the decoration on the blanks.
This fine ceramic quaich is a rarer Bough item and has a more unusual pattern.
In the central base of the quaich is a Celtic knotwork roundel. There are two bands of knotwork on the inner sides towards the rim. The lug handles are shaped to contain another Celtic knot pattern - this is an unusual addition to a Bough piece. The exterior is a shiny inky blue colour and has been hand-painted.
These pieces are really attractive pieces of Scottish pottery.
The dishes are in good condition for being nearly 100 years old - they have no nasty chips or cracks. It is in fine antique condition and looks good on display.
