Rare Minton 'Stork' pattern Planter Designed by Christopher Dresser c.1872

Rare Minton 'Stork' pattern Planter Designed by Christopher Dresser c.1872 inspired by Japanese art.
Interestingly, Dresser commented after his visiting Japan in 1876 'It is strange that, though they are so fond of portraying storks, during the whole time of my sojourn in Japan I never saw but one living specimen of this bird. Owing to the numberless representations of them which we see on Japanese works, I used to think that storks must be almost as common in Japan as sparrows are in England; but this proved to be a great mistake.
