Heathfield Pottery.—At these works Messrs. Ferguson, Miller, & Co. produced some admirable vases in terra cotta, which were shown at the 1851 Exhibition, and are here engraved. One of these (Fig. [764]) was a vase of large size and excellent modelling; it bore a frieze of figures typical of the great gathering in 1851. Fig. [765] shows, among its other ornaments, a nuptial procession, designed in the style of the antique; these figures were modelled with great accuracy, and are arranged in an artistic manner. The works passed in 1862 into the hands of Messrs. Young (which see); the moulds, &c., including those of these vases, became the property of the Garnkirk Company.
