It was produced by a designer at H. & R. Daniel, a Stoke-on-Trent ceramics factory that was in business between 1822 and 1846. The designer produced numerous sheets of variant designs and these were bound together in a pattern book.  \r\n\r\nPattern books were kept in factories for staff to consult, including directors looking for new and attractive designs to put into production, and painters employed to decorate the ceramics. Today, pattern books are of interest to designers, students and collectors, for the important role they play in identifying unmarked ceramics and for the fascinating variety of patterns they contain, most of which never made it into production.  \r\n\r\nAt some stage in its history, the Daniel factory pattern book was broken up and the sheets became separated. However, 12 sheets did stay together and these were acquired by the V&A in 2004. This particular sheet is thought to date from about 1840–46.","physicalDescription":"Design drawing in pen and ink and watercolour on two sides of the same sheet. On the front are three drawings of teacups, numbered 8097, 8098 and 8099, and alongside the teacups are designs for the inside bases. The words '8100 is exactly same as 8189' are written on the bottom right. On the back is a drawing of a plate, with a central floral motif and alternative choices of borders. These are numbered 8102 and 8101.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"H. & R.
