Bowl
ca. 1770 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Views of the interiors of 18th century potteries made at the time are almost non-existent. So this naively painted punch bowl gives a valuable glimpse into life in the Throwing Room. It shows all the essential elements, including the brazier to provide basic warmth for the workers and to dry the unfired pots.
