Bessie Youatt |  |
Bessie Youatt worked at Doultons as a designer and Doulton Ware artist, from about 1873 to 1888.
As the first decorative Doulton items were produced in 1867, she was present, as a designer, in the very early and formative years at Lambeth. A group of her works are illustrated on p89 of the ‘bible’ on Doulton Lambeth The Doulton Lambeth Wares, by Desmond Eyles and Louise Irvine.
