David Lockhart founded the Victoria works in the village of Pollockshaws, south of Glasgow, in 1855. He was apparently new to the industry, but partnered with Charles Arthur, who was previously employed at the Verreville Pottery in Glasgow. He left to go to Bell’s Pottery (Glasgow) in 1865, and Lockhart continued on alone. His sons took over in 1898, and continued into the 20th century, although decorative wares dissapear arpund 1911D.L.&Co mark dates to 1876-98.
