George Bellamy Scottish Wemyss Ware All Books sku-340851146

George Bellamy's Scottish Wemyss Ware 1882-1930 is a hardcover book in All Books (sku-340851146). It catalogs his collection with illustrations of animals, flowers, insects, birds and other Wemyss designs. Bellamy, who has collected Scottish Wemyss since 1976, introduces people involved in finding and preserving the pieces. An essay by historian Carol McNeil traces the history of Fife Pottery, where Wemyss Ware began. The ware was made in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, from 1882 to 1930 and in Bovey Tracy, England, from 1930 to 1952. Its hand-decorated tableware includes cats, pigs, jugs and plates, often with roses or scenes inspired by the Fife countryside. The Wemyss family patronized the pottery line; the Queen Mother and Prince Charles were among those it attracted.
