Lot 203 A rare and unusual Worcester Prunus Root conical sugar bowl A rare and unusual Worcester Prunus Root conical sugar bowl, finely painted in blue with flowering branches extending to the interior. 10.7cm diam, workman's mark of an arrow and an amulet, c.1756 Similar in The Susi and Ian Sutherland Collection, Bonhams, p.66. Vendor's Note: The workman's mark is well known on Worcester, a variety of these marks are illustrated on page 24, in Worcester Blue and White Porcelain by Branyan, French and Sandon. I have tried to find any reference to the unusual shape of this bowl, but unfortunately I could find no information anywhere.
