Pot Pouri Bowl
What’s not to like!
It’s got the golden sea plants (formerly known as ‘seaweed’), equally golden fish, and a glaze of the very ‘deepest sea blue’.
The bowl was made by Crescent & Sons (George Jones & Sons Ltd) around 1873 when ‘Crescent’ was registered as the company’s trademark.

And at the other end of the bathroom scales from Ducketts’ heavy plain brown “Clencher”, is this, the “Shanks’ Patent Independent Spray Bath”.
