Note: Carlo Manzoni had a short-lived career at Della Robbia pottery under Harold Rathbone and Conrad Dressler from 1893-1895 when he left the company in to form Minerva Art Ware Manufacturers, renting space in the Granville Pottery, Stoke-on-Trent. In 1898 he left the company in the hands of his workers and returned to Della Robbia where he continued to work until 1906.
