The late 19th and early 20th centuries marked the heyday for the production of ornamental animal figures in Bo’ness potteries.
Today, many turn up in collections, auctions, and online listings. Some are instantly recognisable, while others remain less well known.
This website brings together images and articles to support the identification of pottery figures attributed to Bo’ness ranging from the familiar mantelpiece dogs and cats to rarer and more unusual subjects.
The ultimate aim is to provide a comprehensive and engaging resource for collectors or anyone who's curious about these fascinating antique creations.
Please note that the site is at an early stage of development and content is currently being added.

The Categories section is the best place to begin your search for individual pieces or groups of figures in which you have an interest.
Figures are conveniently organised by subject, with a brief description provided for each of the six categories.
This is how they have been grouped.
As you can see, the category headings include lions, dogs, cats, other animals and equestrians.
There's also a section which will assist in the identification of figures of uncertain origin. A guide to help distinguish genuine Bo'ness figures from Staffordshire pieces or modern reproductions.
From within the categories page click images or links to discover more.
It would be good to hear your views or advice about the development of this website - and if you have any photographs of Bo'ness figures that you believe would be of interest to site visitors, do please forward them to this email address.
Many thanks.
