So-called "Fairyland Lustre" octagonal bowl, outside painted from the Woodland Elves VI series in "Fiddler in Tree": massive tree trunks with branches bearing large green leaves form arches under which fairies play. A fiddler is perched on a branch above leapfrogging elves. Painted in gold, purple, green and pale yellow. Inside painted in "Ship and Mermaid": Mottled pillars supporting ogee arches with a rose-backed grille reveal a type of mediaeval French chateau on a rocky shore and a collection of objects: a galleon in full sail, the head of a crocodile, a mermaid and a dovecote on a small island with two bat-winged figures seated back to back.
