According to Coysh and Henrywood, George Phillips was in partnership with his brother, Edward, from 1822-1834, and then continued on his own from 1834-1848 when many different designs were made including this "Park Scenery", "Verona", Marine", and "Canova." A selection of floral and romantic patterns were included, and flow-blue was also made.
