Between 1870 and 1875, the Watcombe Terracotta Company produced wares that were strongly influenced by Christopher Dresser (1834-1904), who is now acknowledged as one of the most important designers of the nineteenth century. These wares ranged from square and angular teapots, tea sets and jugs (bearing a strong resemblance to Dressers designs in metal) to Japanese inspired vases with applied animal masks, the animals tongue forming the handle, or bottle vases with dragon handles.
