This concise history traces the development of Scottish pottery from its pre-industrial origins through the rise of the factory system and the expansion of the industrial potteries. It discusses the range of wares produced, Scottish pottery exports, the social impact of industrialisation and the Arts and Crafts movement. Particular attention is given to the distinctive character of Scottish pottery, with examples illustrated in colour, as well as Scottish pottery marks, places to visit and further reading.
