A small two-handled glazed earthenware vase (100x80mm) designed by Christopher Dresser and made by the Linthorpe Pottery. Green, blue and brown glaze with a floral Aztec design to each side. The base is marked "Linthorpe 944" and impressed with the "HT" monogram of Henry Tooth. In 1879, Christopher Dresser, with a businessman called John Harrison, founded a pottery at Linthorpe in Middlesbrough. Dresser's aim was, in part, social and philanthropic: to help relieve unemployment and poverty in a poor part of England. But Dresser was, by this stage in his career, one of the most inventive, radical and influential designers in Europe. At Linthorpe, he wanted to produce pottery unlike any that had been seen before. Dresser was the Art Superintendent from 1879-1882, responsible for all the designs. Even after leaving the pottery, he continued to submit designs. On Dresser's recommendation, Henry Tooth, an artist from Buckinghamshire, was appointed as pottery manager. Tooth also left in 1882 and his HT monogram dates Linthorpe work to the three years before then. Dresser's designs for Linthorpe incorporate the vast range influences he had absorbed up to that point: Egyptian, South American, Islamic, Japanese and Celtic. And much of his work reflects his early study of botany and natural history. Overlaying everything is a pronounced Arts and Crafts ethic and aesthetic. This beautiful little vase with its floral, Aztec design brings together many of the elements which make up Dresser's distinctive genius. Artikel-Nr.: 3444.

Hardcover. First edition. 8vo. 230x153mm. pp. xxiii, [i] blank, 433. Original green cloth, ruled in blind, gilt lettered spine. The spine has, in the past, suffered a tear from the cloth on the upper cover. Now repaired, the former tear is still showing but the spine is firmly attached. A small tear to foot of spine and some rubbing to corners but overall the binding is in good condition. Internally, very good. A nice copy of a scarce and important book. Illustrated throughout with Dresser's studies of plants. Christopher Dresser (1834-1904) was a precociously talented designer. At thirteen, he attended the Government School of Design at Somerset House where he took a special interest in botanical design. Dresser contributed to Owen Jones's 1856 Grammar of Ornament and, the following year he wrote his first major work On the relation of science to ornamental art. 1859 saw the publication of both The Rudiments of Botany and Unity and Variety which resulted in the award of a doctorate from the University of Jena. Later, he was elected a Fellow of the Linnaean Society. This interest in and love of nature inspired his design work throughout his life, his central theory being that "natural forms should be abstracted and made geometric for use in ornamentation" (Rosemary Hill, ODNB). For Dresser, the designer's mind was like "the vital force of the plant ever developing itself into forms of beauty". Fine. Artikel-Nr.: 2107.
