Figure 31  Plates, Charles Allerton & Sons, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, ca. 1925. Left: D. 7 1/2". Right: D. 6 1/2". These examples, which bear the Allerton mark on the reverse, were found in the attic of Thorley’s studio-home. They were kept with other pieces that had been made in potteries where he had worked and whose designs were confirmed to be by him. Nevertheless, the attribution to Thorley of these particular plates remains tenuous.
