Hooker's Fruit
Hooker’s Fruit captures the remarkable work of William Hooker (1779-1832); perhaps the finest of all fruit illustrators. His original paintings are among the most prized in the Lindley Library for their botanical accuracy and great beauty.
Fruit Garden
Fruit Garden captures the essence of country living and the abundant kitchen garden. The finely illustrated fruits and simple country cottage inspired script lend a modern twist to classical values. Coordinating soft fruits including strawberries, raspberries and cherries have been placed individually on classically shaped tableware and collectively onto housewares.
Fruits du Soleil
A superb citrus fruit design on fresh bone china graced with artwork by the leading 18th century artist renowned for their representation of fruit - Pierre Ledoulx and Pierre-Antoine Poiteau.
Mug collection: Alfred Parsons
Alfred Parsons (1847-1920) was a respected painter, engraver and illustrator. His joy was in gardens and flowers. These roses come from Miss Willmott’s Book of Roses.
Mug collection: Caroline Maria Applebee
Very little is known about Miss Applebee (c.1799-1854). It is believed she was a talented amateur artist whose works were unpublished. Her paintings feature a large range of plants, including the more rare and exotic varieties of the day, that would only survive under glass.
Mug collection: garden mugs
A range of three garden mugs depicting Trentham Hall, Alton Towers and Alton Gardens.
Mug collection: Nicolas Robert
Robert (1614-1685) is the link between medieval manuscript illumination and what is now know as botanical illustration. His precise plant observations remain charming and he was employed to paint plants by Louis XVI.
