Grangemouth.
Fire-brick Works.—These works, belonging to the Grangemouth Coal Company, were established in 1842. The clay, which is of good quality, is got at a depth of about forty-eight fathoms, under lease from the Earl of Zetland. The productions of the works consist of ornamental vases, and tazzæ of various patterns; statuary, both single figures and groups; fountains, vases and plinths; flower-stands and pots; chimney shafts, some of which are highly decorated in relief; pedestals, brackets, &c.; and salt-glazed pipes, grate backs, bricks, tiles, &c. The company received honourable mention for their goods at the Exhibition of 1851, and at the Hamburg Exhibition of 1866 had a medal awarded to them for their vases and ornamental figures.
