This bowl was designed by Clarice Cliff in her hugely popular "crocus pattern" range of wares which was first produced in 1928. All the pieces were hand decorated by a team of skilled women painters at the Newport Pottery Company in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

2 Fairground attraction

This miniature Fowler showman's engine was made by Lesney Products & Co Ltd of London as part of its Models of Yesteryear series. It first entered our toy shops in 1958 and is widely accepted as being the most attractive of all the Lesney Yesteryear models.
