Large saucer dishes or 'saucer-shaped plates' are a rare form at Lowestoft. See Christopher Spencer, Early Lowestoft (1981), pp.102-3, figs.126-7 for two further examples where the author suggests that their rarity might be explained by their often sagged and warped centres, demonstrating difficulties experienced in the firing of this shape. It is notable that the present lot appears to have largely evaded this fault.
