This elegant snowdrop tile design (c1880) is by Christopher Dresser (1834-1904) and was made by Minton Hollins & Co. Below the snowdrops is a row of small, stylised bulbs and the row above shows a worm's eye view of the flowers. Christopher Dresser is considered to be Britain’s first independent industrial designer but began his career as a botanist, and flowers and plants feature in many of his designs.
