Notes
Designed by Dr Christopher Dresser this one of the most important examples of industrial design in the Gallery. A coloured drawing of this design survives in the Wedgwood Museum Trust archive. For further notes on this subject see Harry Lyons, Christopher Dresser, The Peoples Designer, 1834-1904, Antique Collectors Club, Woodbridge Suffolk, England, 2005. pls. 213 and 215. Plate 215 is a reproduction of the design the correct way up - the image in the BT43/68 register has been mounted by the clerks upside down - see design 206887 similarly mounted.
