Jug with Pretty Floral Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a vintage 1950s Scottish stoneware jug. It is probably one more of an item for specialist Buchan Pottery collectors.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy lovely jug was made by Buchan Pottery, which was based at Portobello, near Edinburgh (now closed).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a lovely traditional Buchan shape. The pattern seems to be an experimental one and one that probably did not go into widespread production. It features a design that the Buchan painter was playing about with. We know that this was not a finished piece to be sold, but was a trail piece It has the word SAMPLE written inside the jug lid. These would have been kept at the factory for future design reference or showing to clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is Buchan's attempt to stay up-to-date. They are looking at more abstract designs that were popular after the Festival of Britain exhibition in 1951. The painter was randomly applying different colours and lines to the sample to see how they might look on a finished jug.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cute taller jug or pitcher measures 5 1\/2 inches in height and with a diameter at the widest point is roughly 3 1\/2 inches. The handle to spout is 4 1\/2 inches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in perfect condition with no damage.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK Postage will be with Royal Mail Recorded Post (Small Parcel).
