Footnote
Alfred G Hopkins was the third generation of a family of potters, son of Alfred Hopkins (born c.1865) a potter and pottery foreman probably at the Doulton Factory. Alfred established himself as a studio potter before 1915 and worked with his brother Henry as 'Hopkins Brothers' in the 1920s from the Old Lambeth Pottery, 149 Lower Kennington Lane. Alfred George from 1915 until 1939 taught pottery at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts.
Their work was collected (c.1926-9) by Sydney K. Greenslade, curator of the Arts and Crafts Museum at the University of Aberystwyth (a similar example of a hare is held there).
