Re: Flow Blue Bowl with Advertising
Karen your Derwent bowl was a popular pattern for a dish set in its day. It will date around 1910. It was not uncommon for a company to purchase an item from a pottery and have their inscription put on it for some special event. I have several flow blue pieces from the Grindley pottery that have similar inscriptions on them. I doubt if you would ever find your piece in an advertising book, but it certainly would belong there. I hope this helps, Bill
