This decoration belongs to a small group of Bow’s production, being a softer colour palette and having the distinct turquoise colour, with no gold;
ref. ‘A Treasury of Bow’ Ceramics & Glass Circle of Australia 2000 no. 35 for a bowl with this distinct ‘pale palette’ including the distinct turquoise, and no gold. The wares decorated like this are all of a similar earlier period. It is interesting to speculate their origin; quite possibly, the pieces were sold in the white from the Bow factory, and decorated in one of the many small decorating studios in London, such as the well-documented James Giles studio.
