Just very minor surface marks. Style: Pastoral dutch A very rare tile with a quite charming scene
of a dutch girl feeding a goose with the
farmhouse in the background the style
reminiscent of the E E Strickland designs for
Carter however this predates them by a couple of
decades. Richards the only company to use this
technique of printed outline with painted with
brilliant 'majolica' lead-glaze colours in the
20th century, Marsden did a few in the 19th
century and there are some by Wedgwood too which
were likely made for them by Marsden. Richards
made some rather more twee pictures of dutch
children in the same technique which were rather
popular originating in edwardian times and still
made at least as late as the 1940s latterly
often in tea trays. There are also some art
nouveau tiles made with the same technique which
are wonderful, I've seen maybe half a dozen, I
suspect there are at least a couple of dozen in
the range. Verso a very clean, embossed England.
