NT 548 342 The items in the pottery and tile collections in the museum were re-identified and re-catalogued during March 2011, as part of the refurbishment and reinterpretation of the displays by Historic Scotland. A number of ceramics from Deer Abbey, Aberdeenshire, which have been on display in this museum since at least the early 1950s were included in the work. This group includes sherds of Beauvais Double Sgraffito, a Loire-Type jug and sherds from a Martincamp flask. The assemblage from Melrose Abbey includes good examples of vessels in the local Scottish Redware and Scottish White Gritty Ware tradition, a Cistercian ware vessel from the Wrenthorpe kilns in Yorkshire and probably the most important assemblage of floor tiles and roof furniture in Scotland This includes the very rare survival of floor tiles with incised lettering.
