What do I mean by consequences? The result of a single misattribution actually leads to a cascade of innaccuracies. In fact the whole problem of misattribution may have come from a single case and then it became fixed that certain pieces created by Dorrie were in fact created by Sybil Dunlop, hence the ongoing confusion.

A classic example of this is the misattribution occuring at Christie's for a piece of Dorrie's jewellery and as a consequence when this piece was added to the Bridgeman Education art library this misattribution was copied, see screen capture below.

Once misattribution has occurred it is very difficult for the situation to be totally restored to how it should be an added consequence of both Dorrie and Sybil not signing their work, although Sybil did sign hers more often with SD especially her pieces of silver work e.g. spoons, cups and boxes.
