An earthenware dog bowl printed in blue in Spode's popular Tower pattern.  The maker used the same border found in the pottery's Milkmaid pattern.  Tower was used not only on table wares but on a number of different utility shapes as well.  Its popularity and production lasted well into the twentieth century.  Continuing interest in the pattern is reflected in twenty-first century reproductions.
