Search Help

  • Searching for multiple terms
    • AND search: If you enter more than one search term in the search box, your search will retrieve results that contain all those terms. For example, enter ‘Iraq Iran', to find all object records containing both ‘Iraq' and ‘Iran'.
    • OR search: If you want to search for either one term or another, enter your search terms separated by ‘or'. For example, enter ‘Japan or China' to find all object records containing either Japan or China.
  • Partial wordsearch
    • Enter your term followed by an asterisk (*). For example, entering ‘Islam*' would return results for all records containing words beginning with ‘Islam', such as ‘Islam', ‘Islamic', and ‘Islamabad'.
  • Searching is always case insensitive
    • For example, searching for ‘India' is the same as searching for ‘india'.
  • Searching for a specific word or phrase
    • Enter your term within double quotation marks (""). For example, to search for the term Abbasid period, enter "Abbasid period".
  • Excluding a termfrom your search

    The Barlow Collection

    The rounded bowl has everted sides and a flared, down-curved rim. The foot is very low and broad. The coarse reddish-brown stoneware body bears a white slip and a transparent glaze and has been painted under the glaze in iron-brown with thin concentric lines inside in the centre and at the rim, and with dots of brown on the rim itself. The uppermost part of the outside is covered in brown slip, with further brown and white bands below. The transparent glaze leaves part of the slip on the outside free, and the lowest part, foot and base are exposed in the biscuit. The footring shows five white patches from large firing supports, with remains of grit, and corresponding patches of fine grit appear on the inside.
