Scope and Content Wall urinal and fragment of tiled floor from lavatory inside manager's house at Dunmore Pottery, Dunmore, Stirlingshire From the early 19th century, Dunmore Pottery made tiles and domestic ware using local clay from Dunmore Moss, and superior clay from Devon and Cornwall. The surviving remains date from after about 1860 when it was bought by Peter Gardner of Alloa. This wall urinal comes from the lavatory of the manager's house. It is typical of the pottery's colourful faience work and may have been installed in honour of a visit by the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, in 1887. Although Scottish potteries made some use of local clay, their sites were usually chosen for their nearness to a good supply of coal. It took about 15 tons of coal to fire one ton of pottery.
