An 18th century delft dinner plate made in Glasgow as part of a set for the Murray Clan of Polmaise near Stirling is a feature lot in Bonhams’ annual Scottish Sale, which will take place this year between 22 – 24 August 2007 in Edinburgh. It is expected to fetch between £2,000 – 3,000.

The single plate, which measures 23 cm in diameter, was made in Glasgow’s Delftfield Pottery between 1760 – 70 and features the Polmaise Murray’s ‘Peacock’ crest. It forms part of a special dinner service commissioned by the family, and is likely to attract a great deal of interest among collectors and local museums alike.
