Published in 1791, it describes the habits of Tam, a farmer who often gets drunk with his friend Souter Johnie (a souter is a cobbler) in a public house in the Scottish town of Ayr. This wonderfully detailed stoneware jug by William Ridgway and Co. (1830-1854) of Hanley, Staffordshire, England, depicts scenes in relief from the poem. The bottom of the pitcher has a mark stamped into the clay that reads \"Published by W. RIDGWAY \u0026amp; CO.

In 1940, they began making wheel-thrown, hand decorated stoneware pieces like this matching pair of tall coffee mugs; by the late 1960's, tableware was their only product line.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eInstead of being marked with their lead stamp, these items were signed by the artist who painted them---in this case, both are signed in cobalt on the bottom by Knesseth Denisons. His nautical themes are very desirable; these mugs are decorated with the words \"Eight Bells\" and the drawing of a ship's bell on each. The rim and handles of the mugs are also hand painted in cobalt, which they imported from Germany, on the pale grey stoneware clay bodies. Dorchester Pottery has always been admired for using old-time production methods and producing high quality wares. The business closed in 1979.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe mugs measure approximately 4 5\/8 inches tall and 3 1\/2 inches across the mouth.

Inherited by the former owner, they have been packed away for many years, giving a fortunate collector the opportunity to acquire this scarce pair of Dorchester Pottery mugs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e*From Wikipedia: \"In 1940, Dorchester Pottery's line of distinctive gray and blue tableware was introduced.
