This motto ware or mottoware bowl was made by the Dartmouth Pottery of Devon, England and bears the following motto: Ill Blows The Wind That Profits Nobody and the traditional cottage. The bowl, which may be a sugar basin or bowl, measures 4 inches in diameter by 2.5 inches high and was made in the 1940-1950s. It is in excellent condition and very collectible. This famous and fun pottery has been manufactured in the south of England from the 1870s until the factories closed in the 1960s. It is usually of red clay decorated with bright glazes, cottages and mottos or sayings that run the gamut from proverbs and sound advice to nearly outrageous. Always fun and different and very collectible!
