    The Barlow Collection

    The small dishes have shallow rounded sides, somewhat flared towards the rim, and a recessed circle underneath in place of a base. The insides are moulded with similar designs of a central multi-petalled rosette surrounded by a flower scroll border, the outsides are plain. The beige-coloured body is covered with a paler slip and a leaf-green glaze, both of which have left an uneven patch around the base free.
