<p>[QUOTE="popsycat, post: 847467, member: 1904"]yes. We started of collecting Linthorpe and ended up with Christopher Dresser pieces. His designs are well documented, so you can buy pieces which are known designs by him across all fields, glass, pottery metalwork etc; they are not necessarily signed with his signature. I believe, he did not physically work at some of the places manufacturing his designs, he just had to send the designs off to the manufacturer. When Henry Tooth left Linthorpe for Bretby, he took some of the design books with him. We visited the Bretby pottery many years ago and were surprised to see Linthorpe design books in their little museum. As long as they are known designs by him and by the firm he submitted the design to, pieces can be attributed to him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
