About the company:
Govancroft Pottery 1911-1976 In Glasgow Scotland, across London Road at the corner of Potter Street, was the substantial Govancroft Pottery.

At one point this had (according to the Scottish Pottery Society), "a monopoly of (ceramic) jam jars" which it exported throughout the world. Later, it produced distinctive thistle shaped ware. A quick search on the website indicates that there is still a substantial trade among collectors for them.

The pottery was closed in 1976. A pleasant set of modern houses has taken their place, called "The Potteries". There is a Govancroft museum in Edinburgh which you can view by appointment if you call beforehand.
