Many people know thatI collect Leaf and Crossed Ribbon Shape.Many collectors strive to acquire everypossible variation in their pattern, and Icount myself as one of that group. I wasunaware of any child’s pieces in L&CR, soimagine my amazement when at theconvention, Adele Armbruster came to meand said she had a surprise for me.Wrapped in a little box was a miniature L& CR Basin and Ewer. She told me that sheand Rick had to stay for several hours at anauction to bid on the Ewer set. Just anotherreason to join and participate inorganization activities, meet and make dearfriends, and add to your collection.

The Glascow Pottery ofJohn and Matthew Perston Bell

John Bell was born on November 10th 1806 while his brother Michael Perston Bell was born on August 8th,1808. The Glascow they were born into was a city very different from the one we know now. In Scottish terms,and even in British terms, Glasgow was already a large and important city, noted for the regularity and beautyof its buildings; but in world terms Glasgow was little more than a small country town, its internationalimportance in the tobacco trade being largely a thing of the past and the main growth in the cotton trade still inthe future. But the structure of trade and industry had been growing gradually in Glasgow and the city waspoised for a metamorphosis into the industrial giant that it was to become by 1900.

In the Census of 1841 the family is shown at 245 St Vincent St. The head of the household was John BellSenior whose age is given as 75. (It should be remembered here that in the 1841 Census ages were rounded up ordown to the nearest five.) Both the boys are shown as 30 years old and John is described as a writer whileMatthew is a “merchant”. Mrs Bell seems to have been on a visit somewhere since she makes no appearance butthere was a William Bell aged 70 in the house who is John Senior’s younger brother.

At this point John Bell seems set for a career, rewarding if unspectacular, as a lawyer and a petty dealer ingoods and property. He is working as his mother’s representative and as his Aunt Ocella’s and seems settlingdown to leading a comfortable, quiet life but his ambition would not allow this to be. At some point towardsthe end of 1840 or more likely the beginning of 1841 he and Matthew formed a partnership trading as J.& M.P. Bell, Earthenware manufacturers. Quite quickly afterwards this became J.& M. P. Bell & Co. The reasonfor the change was the acquisition of a third partner and indeed the third partner may have been theprecipitating factor in the formation of the Company. The man in question was Robert Clough (sometimesspelt Cleugh) who was the son of a weaver from Ripon in Yorkshire and who had come to Glasgow in 1820with his wife and two daughters and possibly a nephew William, had worked for a time at the AnderstonPottery, then had run the Woodside Pottery on his own account from 1824. After a few years he left this andreturned to Anderston where he lived in Lancefield Cottage and managed the Anderston Pottery of Geddes,Kidston & Co. again. When this pottery had gone bankrupt; he had been engaged as manager of the GlasgowPottery. That he was a partner, however junior, and not just an employee is attested by himself and by JohnBell in a law suit of 1847. His nephew William lived with him and had been brought up in the pottery trade.There was also another nephew named Robert who is found in the Censuses of 1841 and 1851 but whosesubsequent career is as yet unknown.

J. Arnold Fleming in his book “Scottish Pottery” published in 1923 was of the opinion that the Bells hadstarted by making sanitary ware etc. ‘early in the nineteenth century’. There is no evidence for this but whatmay have led him astray was the presence of a John Bell in Barrack St. off the Gallowgate. He made bricks andsimilar articles until 1826 but in view of the number of John Bells in Glasgow and even Britain at this period itwould be rash to assume that this was John Bell, Senior. Both brothers appear in the Glasgow Voters’ Roll for1840-41, which would be made up in 1840, as ‘earthenware manufacturers’ with a pottery variously described

Page 5 Vol. 22.1

as on the canal bank and at the corner of Stafford St and Pulteney St. The site of the Pottery is clearly markedout on a map of 1839, though it is not named as such. It is possible, therefore, that plans for the works weremade even earlier than the Post Office directory would indicate.

The Bell brothers bought land from William Stuart Stirling Crawfurd of Milton from the part of the estate of

Milton known as Broomhill and premises were built on a large scale in what is now Stafford Street butwhich at that time was only projected. More land was bought than was needed for the Pottery andsubsequently land was added to this both from Crawfurd of Milton and from the Edinburgh & GlasgowRailway Company for John’s foresight was great and he had plans for the whole area. A tunnel of theEdinburgh and Glasgow Railway ran under the land and the Company’s permission had to be sought to buildon it. The area was just beginning the process of development when the brothers took sasine (Scots law) isthe delivery of feudal property, typically land) and when they built from scratch, an estate map of 1801

shows the owner as Mrs. Margaret Rae Crawfurd of Milton and the land as totally undeveloped. The arealater bought for the Pottery is called the High Broomhill Park. The railway tunnel is clearly marked anddepths are given for its distance from the surface of the soil. The land was bought in 1842 but the agreementmust have been reached beforehand since sasine was taken after the letter below had been sent out andthough the sale was not completed until 1844 the Pottery must have been erected very fast because near thebeginning of 1842 it was already in production. 1841 and 1842 were years of recession and it seems odd tofound a large firm at that time but several pointers exist that suggest that the firm was founded mainly toexport its wares. Subsequently tenements were built in Kyle St. which were occupied largely by potteryworkers. In January 1842 John Bell sold off some property in the West Parson’s Croft for £1200; the moneywas no doubt needed for the remarkably quick and efficient start of the business. The organization andfinancing involved in setting up the Glasgow Pottery with the speed and efficiency shown speak loudly forthe abilities of the Bell Brothers. Judging by the signatures on documents, it was John who was the movingspirit in the enterprise; Matthew’s appearances are sparse.

Page 6 Vol. 22.1

On Saturday, 12 February 1842 the Glasgow Courier ran the following advertisement:

TO PURCHASERS OF EARTHENWARE

The Subscribers beg respectfully to inform Shippers and Purchasers of Earthenware, generally, that theyhave commenced Manufacturing cream-colored, dipped, painted and Printed Earthenware, for Home Saleand Exportation, at their Works, recently erected on the Banks of the Cut of Junction Canal, between PortDundas and St. Rollox. At the same time the Sub- scribers may be allowed to express the hope that, from theextent of their Works, the quality of their materials, and the advantage they enjoy in having theManufacturing Department con- ducted under the immediate superintendence of their Mr. Clough, whoseknowledge and experience as a Potter are well known to the Trade, they shall be able to give everysatisfaction to those who may favour them with a share of their patronage. They may add, that they have beenat pains to select the newest and best shapes, and patterns for Tea, Toilette, and Table Services.J. & M. P. Bell & Co.Glasgow PotteryGlasgow, 11th February 1842.

The description of their wares is most interesting. It is noticeable that only earthenware is mentioned. Theyare not making china nor fireclay. The earthenware is described as cream- coloured but this is not to be taken asmeaning that they were producing what we would now call creamware. The description ‘cream-coloured’ wasquite often applied to ordinary earthenware at this period, before the introduction of so many ‘improved’ bodiesin the following decades. Exactly the same description is seen in advertisements of the period from other areassuch as Sunderland. Curiously exactly the opposite is found in a speech made by Robert Cochran in 1877 at thecelebration of the centenary of Verreville Works. In it he describes Queen’s ware as white. Potters notoriouslyhave private languages for their goods. In a few years as we shall see Bells are describing virtually the same‘cream-colored earthenware’ products as ‘stone- ware’.

Up until now we have had very little indication of what the Glasgow Potterywas making, Except that earthenware was their only body. In 1847 this changedwhen they began to advertise themselves as china manufacturers and to do so foralmost the rest of the Pottery’s life. It has been argued that they did not make chinaor porcelain until after Matthew’s death in 1870. The principal reason for thisseems to be that much of the porcelain known is marked with an impressed JB in abell. This mark is stated by Arnold Fleming as having come into use only afterMatthew’s death and this seems inherently likely on the face of things. Deeperthought, however, would reveal several arguments against this. Firstly, Flemingfrequently makes mistakes; he was a pioneer in his field and used oral evidence alot and sometimes simply relied on his common sense. In this case it is certain thatit led astray Secondly, John’s position in the business was dominant. We have hisown word for it. Robert White in giving evidence at the trial of 1847 quotes JohnBell as saying that his instructions were to be obeyed in the first instance and in his

absence those of his brother. He also describes John Bell as the “leading and managing partner”. We shallreturn to Matthew’s position in the Pottery later

Thirdly, it should always be borne in mind that there is no porcelain known with any other mark untilafter 1870. It is absurd to suppose that the firm made unmarked porcelain of unknown shapes until 1880 andthen suddenly adopted the shapes we all know and started to mark them with the JB in a bell.

Our fourth and strongest argument is that the Glasgow Pottery was the only Scottish exhibitor in thepottery section at the Great Exhibition in the Crystal Palace in 1851 (except for the Heathfield Works of

Page 7 Vol. 22.1

Ferguson, Miller & Co., fireclay manufacturers) and that their exhibits consisted of four bodies amongst whichwere parian and china. There can be no dubiety about this. If the catalogue of the Great Exhibition mentionschina, then china must have been present, so we are driven to the conclusion that Fleming was wrong and thatthe mark of an impressed bell with JB in it dates from 1847 onwards and that in 1847 the Pottery started tomake porcelain and probably Parian as well. Besides this, sherds of porcelain turned up in great abundanceduring the archaeological excavation on the site in 1996 and many of these were firmly dateable to the 1850s.We get a fairly detailed, if slightly distorted, idea of what the pottery was making at this time from thecatalogs. Below is a transcription and illustration from the catalogs.

Old ChinaI purchased a book on E-bay tittled “Old China”. It was written by Minnie Watson Kamm and published in 1951.The book contains the information that was available 64 years ago, and that information has been updated overthe years, (note the finial illustrated is different than the customary one) but I thought it would be interesting to takeexcerpts from the spiral bound book and make use an article to build your knowledge and Ironstone IQ.
