Antique Scottish Buchan Stoneware GROUND RICE Jar / Kitchen Storage Crock

Antiques : Country Pottery

 

19th century Scottish stoneware jar for Ground Rice. The jar was produced by Buchan Potteries and has an impressed “Buchan Portobello Edinburgh” trademark near the base. The jar is very much traditional – a combination of buff colored stoneware with a clear glaze and with treacle colored glaze on the top of the jar and lid. The lettering is abbreviated to Grd. Rice and contained within a decorative scrolled banner which is transfer-printed in black and underneath the glaze. It also has a nice impressed coil and beaded pattern. The underside of the lid is chipped, as shown. There is no other damage. Condition is excellent. Measures: 8” high and 5” in diameter at the base.
