Lot Essay

See Joan Jones, Mintons, The First Two Hundred Years of Design and Production, Shrewsbury, 1993, p. 223 for a page from the Art Pottery Studio pattern book (S204). Freelance designers such as Christopher Dresser and John Moyr Smith provided the designs to the Art Studio and are likely to be the source for this pattern. It is also very reminiscent of known tile and wallpaper designs produced by Dresser.
