Sgraffito lion sketch in stoneware. Signed, impressed to bottom.Iconic sketchbook animal figures filled with rich cobalt, on a fair, sandy ground. Three handled 'tyg' style jug, inspired by the late 19th century neoclassical and Greek art revivals. Barlow's signature is deeply and boldly inscribed to bottom, showing evident satisfaction in the work; several small decorator marks are also present, likely for their work on the relieved, glazed handles and pinwheel border. Curiously double-stamped with two Doulton Lambeth rosettes, and two dates, the latter of which- 1888- is extremely faint. Artist: Hannah Barlow Issued: 1888 Dimensions: 6.5"H x 6.5"D Manufacturer: Doulton Lambeth Country of Origin: England
