Emile Lessore was one of Wedgwood’s most recognized and prolific decorators in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, and based on the number of surviving works by his hand, his painterly style must have found great favor with both the buying public and the Wedgwood factory administrators, who continued to employ Lessore after he returned to France in 1862.
