A lovely pair of nature study tiles of
flying ducks unusually painted in manganese
mauve. Nice quality painting, an unusual
colour and super condition makes for a rare
and interesting pair of tiles. Probably by
one of the several London based decorators
who worked elsewhere following the demise of
the Mintons Kensington Gore Art Pottery
Studio. Versos perfectly clean Boote style rings.
Hand written "cream sample", I have seen this
just once before and take it to be that the
glazed blank was supplied to perhaps just a
single decorator, it does take the hand
painting very well and appears to be a
special glaze designed for hand painting by
tile studios. Condition: Near perfect Ref: 04934/5 Left Tile: Spot mid top edge a manufacturing
flaw also minute glaze blow near centre, very
slight loss to left edge. Right Tile: Perfect, very tiny mark right edge a
glazed over manufacturing flaw.
