George Tinworth was one of the most high profile decorators working for the Doulton Lambeth factory in the late nineteenth century. In its Art Pottery division the firm encouraged individual expression amongst their workers and each hand-decorated ceramic claims to be unique. Tinworth is perhaps best known for his more sculptural work, including anthropomorphic animals.
