Did you know that Christopher Dresser was one of the UK’s most famous designers and his tea pots are iconic. In the late nineteenth century he worked here in Middlesbrough, helping to set up the Linthorpe Art Pottery. You can see a whole range of his designs at the Dorman Museum in the Linthorpe Pottery Galleries.
