FAQs

Johnny Souter represents a traditional Scottish character often depicted wearing a nightcap, frequently produced as a salt-glazed stoneware flask or jug in the 19th century.

These vessels were typically thrown in dense clay and salt-glazed at high temperatures, resulting in a durable, impermeable finish with a characteristic orange-peel texture and rich brown colouration.

Authenticity is determined by examining the weight, the consistency of the salt glaze, hand-modelled facial features, firing flaws, and signs of genuine historic wear on the base.

Such pieces work effectively as standalone sculptural objects on open shelving, mantelpieces, or as rustic focal points within traditional and eclectic interior schemes.

Dust gently with a dry, soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the historic ceramic body and glaze.
