About MeGovancroft Pottery was established around 1911 by James Buchanan in the east end of Glasgow. They initially made utilitarian stonewares such as whisky jars and jam jars. Between 1946 and 1976 a range of vases, jugs, bowls and flower baskets were also produced, with opalescent and lustre glazes over dabbed colours, such as pink, yellow, green and purple.
More About Me
Govan is on the south side of Glasgow but the producers of stoneware such as this were actually based in the east end.
