Painted Pottery Design for the National Exhibition at
South Kensington 1907, and other paintings and drawings
The Studio Yearbook of Decorative Art 1908 "The exhibition at South Kensington of the prize studies in the National Art Competition, although on the whole
disappointing ... there is promise in another design for painted pottery by Miss Sybil Tawse of Sunderland, a bowl the inside of which
is decorated with longhaired mermaids with extended arms linked together." |
