Description Large barrel shaped jar with lid. Mottled blue, green, brown glaze. SUGAR in raised letters on side. Storage jar.

The Rosslyn Pottery was established in Kirkcaldy in 1879 by Morrison & Crawford. It produced Rockingham-glazed teapots and Majolica wares, including distinctive storage barrels for kitchen goods. The majolica was glazed in green, brown and blue on a buff-coloured body. A distinctive spotted effect was created on the ware due to the colour being applied with twigs.

One of three jars marked 'Sugar, Meal and Flour' with blue, green and mustard-coloured glaze.
Was on display in Low Parks Museum in the Victorian Kitchen until 1993/4.
