Quentin Bell (1910-1996), an early underglaze blue tinglaze pottery bowl, possibly to a Vanessa Bell design, dated 1936, painted to the interior with a flowerhead design, the underside with lappets and a keywork border, inscribed Mark Quentin Bell 1936 with a circular symbol, 27cm diameter
Provenance: gifted by the Bell family to a Charleston Farmhouse housekeeper, thence by family descent.
Structurally good with acceptable crazing; suggestion of a hairline crack inward from rim, approx. 4cm, affecting only the glaze and perhaps a manufacturing characteristic.
