Ash Bowl

Royal Doulton Ashbowl, Auld Mac Ashbowl D6006 (Green tam; brown coat). Designed by Harry Fenton, issued 1938 - 1960. Size: 3"H

A song by Sir Harry Lauder, a 20th-century singer and comedian, called "Bang Went Sixpence." inspired this piece. In it a Scotsman named Mac found the prices too high in London because every time he made a move, "band went sixpence," which is incised on the back of his tam, below "Auld Mac."
