The one in the centre of the bowl and the single one on the bottle show St Margaret's Church and the High Light and the one at the top of the bowl pic and the left of the 3 vignettes on the back of the bottle shows the Low Light.<br /><br />The painter was only about 19 when these were made, he is one of the few known Lowestoft china decorators; his name was Robert Allen and he was already a very experienced workman by then.<br /><br />The original buyer is no longer alive, but he had the pleasure of them all those years and, although his family kept them for a long time, they've decided the time had come to sell.<br /><br />Vagabonde, I didn't notice any negative words to begin with, but they are there.<br /><br />Yes, Rog, there was. It was exciting, I must say - three bidders in the room.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-7727844177901834942011-10-29T07:24:11.572+01:002011-10-29T07:24:11.572+01:00Wow.
