The first mentioned plate exhibited at the BADA 1979 exhibition, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, no.89. A plate from the Willett Collection, signed 'Bowen Fecit' was lost in the Alexandra Palace fire but as a result the name of Bowen is forever linked to a style of painting with European landscapes and sponged trees. For a discussion on the 'Bowen style' and the dating of similar pieces, see Frank Britton, English Delftware in the Bristol Collection (1982), pp.276-97.
