An excellent and rare set of Seasons tiles
with allegorical views. A rarely found series
indeed this is only the second I have seen
complete and originally so. Most of Steele
& Wood's tiles are unmarked and are often
attributed to known brands such as Wedgwood,
Minton and recently I have even seen
Cleveland due to people assuming similar grip
pattern equals the same and desiring of
adding a name with brand value. Steele &
Wood should have brand value for they did
many excellent tiles, comparable to Mintons
in many ways although their pictorial series
have show more imagination than Mintons
rather static 'Moyr Smith' style. The seasons are described thus: Spring: Hail Faire Sweet May Summer: Sun Light and Flowers Autumn: Golden Sheaves Sere Leaves Winter: Ye Winter Cauld Drear Versos slightly stained, unmarked. Condition: Overall excellent, see
below. Chip top right corner, very small chip mid left,
very tiny chip top edge, perfect surface. Perfect One minute rim chip, mark top edge a
manufacturing flaw. Perfect.
