The Barlow Collection
In its outline, this bottle follows a metal form, the even egg-shaped body supported on a straight, nearly solid foot, with a concave base and a low, broad footring, the tall, slender neck separated from the shoulder by a raised rib and flaring to a wide mouth. The smooth cream-coloured stoneware bears a finely crackled, transparent glaze of yellowish tinge, which leaves the lowest part exposed in the biscuit.
