Glasgow Pottery

Glasgow Pottery was established by John Moses in 1863.  John, along with Isaac Weatherby and Samuel K. Wilson constructed the factory on a site of a very old pottery that had been razed.  John's brother, James, joined the company for a short time as well.  While the pottery was in existence between 1863 and 1905, Tea Leaf decorated ironstone was created between 1893 and 1895.  During its operation, this pottery was considered to be of a quality equal to that of English potteries.
The pottery produced hotel, steamboat and government ware along with pieces made for home use.  Many Glasgow Pottery pieces carry the backstamp of "Trilby" and "J.M. & Co.".
