Canadian Sports
Scenes of sports reflecting the romance of Canadian outdoors and winters inspired the Scottish tableware manufacturer John Marshall and Co., Bo’ness Pottery. The source for these pictures may have been greeting cards published in the 1880s by Bennet and Co. This line was used in summer houses and cottages.
