Hannah and Florence Barlow

The sisters Hannah Bolton Barlow (born 2 November 1851 in Church End House, Little Hadham, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England;[1] died 15 November 1916[1]) and Florence Elizabeth Barlow (born Bishop's Stortford) were artists who painted pottery for Doulton & Co. at their newly-established art pottery studio in Lambeth, London.

[2] Doulton's Lambeth studio allowed the decorators to sign or monogram their work, which allows many pieces to be attributed to individuals, though often more than one person worked on a piece.

Their parents were bank manager Benjamin Barlow (1813–1866) and his wife Hannah (1816–1882).

[4] By mutual agreement, Florence specialised in painting flowers and birds, and Hannah in horses and other animals,[2] which were often incised with a blade, the lines being then coloured and often paint added elsewhere.

[5][6] Hannah died on 15 November 1916 at 46 Binfield Road, Clapham, London.
