Literature: Davis P. et al Wemyss Ware: A Decorative Scottish Pottery Scottish Academic Press, 1986, p.68, fig. 56, where this example is illustrated.
Note: Although the countryside inspired much of the decoration on Wemyss Ware, farm animals are uncommon and were often painted in lush summer pastures, as in this extremely rare example.
