Most of you will know the
Beneagles Paperweight from
Peter Thomson. This comes in a
variety of colours. The Spirit of
Burns and Burns Cottage are
both Rutherford jugs. On the left
we have a fancy Burns Cottage
flask from McLech and a Burns
Cottage flat barrel. McLech have
put these transfers on other
shapes and even have a third
variation of the transfer.

The two Rutherford books are
from a set of three books
having a poem on them. Or I
should say sets as there are
ones with both brown and
green spines, and possibly
others. The two shown are
Address to A Haggis and A
Man’s A Man for A’ That.
Missing is A Red Red Rose.
These are three of Burns best known poems. The Rutherford
Spirit of Burns jug is from a set of four, all white. Each contains a
different small verse.

The two busts on the right are
relatively common and are both from
McLech. This is the only picture I
have ever seen of the bust on the
left. It is from the Robbie Burns
company.
