Linthorpe Art Pottery Henry Tooth jug designed by Christopher Dresser

Produced between 1879 and 1882 this is a wonderful example of very early industrial design by Christopher Dresser, made by Henry Tooth at the Linthorpe Art Pottery. Dresser, unlike William Morris who was also influenced by John Ruskin and Pugin, realised that industrialisation need not be the enemy of good design. Dresser's aesthetic is realised by Tooth's development of multi-coloured, brilliant glazes found in 17th and 18th Century Chineses porcelain.
