<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 3971979, member: 7360&quot;]This is a rather battered slop bowl which I&#039;ve had for a long time.&nbsp; I still haven&#039;t been able to identify the maker.&nbsp; I posted it on a specialist British ceramics forum and was hellpfully told that it was probably either Worcester or a Liverpool factory, both of which did slop bowls of this shape, and the loop and dot border, but further research hasn&#039;t revealed to me the exact maker.&nbsp; I think that the rather quirky elements of the painted floral design may provide a clue, but I haven&#039;t been able to find any one of them on any other object.&nbsp; The most distinctive is the crazy ladybird, with 8 zigzag legs and pincer-like antennae.&nbsp; Then there are the flowers with tongue-like protuberances which remind me of &quot;Alien&quot;, the leaves which look like strings of green sausages, and a rose like a bloodshot eyeball.&nbsp; Sounds awful but is actually quite fun, I just wish I could identify the painter and therefore the maker.&nbsp; Can anyone help?[ATTACH=full]324159[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]324160[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]324161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]324162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]324163[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
