Notes | The design of this jug is a plagiarism by Powell's of one produced by Ashbee's Guild of Handcraft. C. R. Ashbee (1863-1942) designed mainly metalwork and jewellery for the community of Guildworkers which he moved from London to Chipping Camden in 1902. Ashbee believed that manufacturers such as Liberty's and Powell's through their plagiarism of the work of Arts and Crafts designers were largely responsible for the failure of the Guild of Handcraft. | | Purchased from the Handley-Read Estate. |
