This vintage oil jug from Buchan Pottery of Portobello, Scotland, is a wonderful example of mid‑century Scottish stoneware. The jug features a striking two‑tone glaze, with a glossy cobalt blue upper section contrasting beautifully against a matte cream base. Its single handle and narrow neck suggest it was designed for pouring oil or vinegar, though today it works equally well as a decorative vase or rustic accent piece.
The craftsmanship reflects Buchan’s reputation for durable yet elegant pottery, and the condition is excellent with no chips, cracks, or flaws. A timeless piece that blends functionality with artisan charm, it will add character to any kitchen, dining space, or collection.
