Notes: This group of patterns defines TL-A as one of the earliest tube-liners. She was probably working with Charlotte either right at the beginning of Period 1 or very soon afterwards. The ratio of her Period 1 to Period 2 pieces is about 3.5:1. The youngest patterns that she worked on are fairly accurately dated as both are described in the Pottery Gazette of February 1935. Since the change from AGR9 to AGR2 occurred around the same time, it is likely that TL-A stopped work as one of Charlotte's tube-liners in the spring/summer of 1935. |
