Condition: Perfect Style/technique: Impressionist
handpainted An oustanding pair of fine art tiles painted
with an impressionist feel and dating from 1887.
Views of two major buildings seen from across a
river the first being Windsor Castle across the
River Thames, the second seems familiar but I
can't place it. Of remarkable quality for tiles and painted
on most durable buff clay blanks hand made by
Copeland. Unsigned, believed to have been decorated in
house at Copeland rather than by an independent
studio. Whilst some decorating studios used
Copeland blanks in the 1870s by 1887 most major
studios were using dust pressed blanks
especially those from Minton Hollins. Versos perfectly clean with Copeland and date
mark for 1887 stamped in the clay.
