About MeAlan Caiger-Smith's work was influenced by the Roman pottery and tin-glazed Delftware collection at Reading Museum as well as medieval Islamic lusterware.
The interior of this white tin glazed earthenware bowl is decorated with red lustre overpainted with golden lustre in an Islamic style pattern.
