Catalogue notes

Charles Irvine Conyingham was born circa 1833 and died 22nd May 1912. Bailey's work at the Fulham Pottery is more often than not catalogued as by C.J.C Bailey, although elaborately signed the script of C.I.C is often misread, including by Ernest Marsh in his catalogue text for Fulham Pottery & Prints exhibition, in 1929.
