The Wemyss Ware name has gone through four distinct phases of use. In the period 1882-1930, it was used by the Fife Pottery in Kirkcaldy, and then from 1930 to 1957, it was used by the Bovey Pottery in Devon. From 1985 to the present day, it is used by the Griselda Hill Pottery in Ceres, Fife. This bowl was produced during the first Fife pottery era, 

It was one of several potteries in Kirkcaldy. The  Fife Pottery or Gallatown Pottery was founded in 1817 by Archibald and Andrew Grey. It was bought ten years later by John Methven, and from there passed to Robert Heron. When his son, Robert Methven Heron (1833-1906) took over the pottery in around 1850, it became Robert Heron and Son. 

By the 1880s, Robert Heron and Son were branding their products as "Wemyss ware" in honour of the Wemyss family who were avid and lucrative patrons.  

Thomas Goode of London, an upmarket tableware retailer, had the exclusive right to sell Wemyss Ware in England.
