This training resulted in a close attention to the detail of plant forms in his designs. He was also a keen gardener with a firsthand knowledge of plants, as this design shows.  Butterfield's early  designs were based on plant forms that were recognisable but subtly stylised, deriving their influence ultimately from designers William Morris (1834-1896) and C.F.A. Voysey (1857-1941).","physicalDescription":"watercolour drawing on paper","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Lindsay Phillip Butterfield","id":"A11354"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"AAT25190"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"watercolour","categories":[{"text":"Designs","id":"THES48968"},{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AM9142"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"125G (VA)","id":"THES49212"},"free":"","case":"CA6","shelf":"DR3","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"designs","id":"AAT102051"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1896","earliest":"1896-01-01","latest":"1896-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by G.
