<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 19545, member: 44"]Another WOW here, af, for your finds. That Robert Burns jug by the John & Matthew Preston Bell Co. is pictured in the online book of <i>The Glasgow Pottery of John & Mathew Preston Bell.</i> by Kelly, 2006, Chapter XI "Wares of the 1860s," P. 55 of the book, P. 7 of the online pdf file of that chapter. As you no doubt already know, this pattern was "presumably first produced in 1859 in commemmoration of the Robert Burns' centenary." The pattern was probably made up into the 1880s and later; however, after 1880, the company added Ltd to there mark. This means your jug was made earlier than 1880. The book says the pattern of the jug pictured is "Burns I." It goes on to say because this was a popular pattern the pottery later made this pattern in 2 other names. The pattern name on yours is just "Burns" without the "I." Whether this makes much of a difference, I doubt it. The important thing is that yours is not signed with the "Ltd" keeping it before 1880.</p><p><a href="http://www.bellsglasgowpottery.com/fileuploads/Bells%20Chapter%2011.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bellsglasgowpottery.com/fileuploads/Bells%20Chapter%2011.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.bellsglasgowpottery.com/fileuploads/Bells Chapter 11.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This page of the books tells about "Ltd" started in 1880. 1st paragraph of 1st page:</p><p><a href="http://www.bellsglasgowpottery.com/fileuploads/Bells%20Chapter%2005.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bellsglasgowpottery.com/fileuploads/Bells%20Chapter%2005.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.bellsglasgowpottery.com/fileuploads/Bells Chapter 05.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
