Scottish stoneware is a type of pottery that originated in Scotland, known for its durability and distinctive appearance. Made from a mixture of clay and minerals, it is fired at high temperatures, resulting in a strong and water-resistant material. The surface is often decorated with salt glazing, which gives it a unique texture and color. This stoneware was commonly used for making functional items like jugs, crocks, and bowls, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries. Scottish potters often incorporated local designs and motifs, reflecting the culture and traditions of the region. Today, it is appreciated by collectors and pottery enthusiasts alike.
