| Figure 21 Pages from a notebook of Thorley’s sketches and watercolors showing ceramic objects such as wash pitchers and basins, cups and saucers, and plates. Many are annotated “printed” or “painted” and include information regarding color, size, estimated cost, possible markets (such as “Harrods”), and the sources of—or inspirations for—his design (for example, “see House & Garden Dec 1920 page 26”). Based on the styles, the relationships between the drawings and examples made at New Chelsea, and a small clipping in the book from a London newspaper dated 1923, I believe Thorley used this drawing book during his years at New Chelsea. |
