@caitlinrgreen Nessie!
@DorothyKing Isn't she great!? She had blue glass eyes, and if the bowl was filled would have peeked out of the top of the water etc!
@caitlinrgreen I have a soft spot for those weird moggy animals ...
@caitlinrgreen role of rotating fish/horse? wolf? religious or game as in who is to be served first?
@morangles Most unclear sadly! Bowls as class originally high-status British tableware but then taken up by ASs, but beyond this is unclear!
