This vase illustrates a shape designed by Christopher Dresser during his partnership with the Linthorpe Pottery Works from 1879 to 1882. The dimpled bottle vase—model number 24—was produced in great numbers, but few have the beautiful and rare crackle glaze of the present vase. It is thought that Linthorpe glazes, particularly the experimental mottled and crackled glazes used by the factory, were the work of the pottery manager, Henry Tooth, while Dresser was responsible for the forms.
