- Style/technique: Floral majolica
- Manufacturer: Copeland & Garrett
- Dimensions: 8" x 8"
- Date: 1833 - 1847
A rarely found and very early Copeland tile, printed
and painted overglaze in chinoiserie carnations and other
flowers. A pleasing pattern in nice bright colours, super
pinks and blues.
When this was made tiles were a niche product for
English manufacturers, Herbert Minton was just just
experimenting with floor tiles and Wedgwood occasionally
made creamware tiles for the gentry.
Verso combed with impressed mark Copeland &
Garrett around 'New Fayence' and printed mark with 'New
Blanche' presumed to be for the particularly bright white
body.
Not up to our usual standard of condition but still a
nice tile we offer this for sale because it is an
especially early and rare item.
