Top corners cropped for the original
installation otherwise perfect rim, minor surface
marks. Style: Pictorial landscape A brilliant architectural landscape tile,
perhaps the best translucent green glaze I have
seen on a Corn Brothers tile it looks much more
like one of Sherwin & Cotton's most
excellent glazes. The scene is of Cockington, a tiny hamlet of
ancient thatched cottages and buildings near
Torquay in Devon with its ancient forge on the
left. Torquay was a popular tourist destination
in Victorian times and still is today, the
hamlet is preserved just as it was over 100
years ago as can be seen by following the links
below which illustrate recent views of the same
scene. See also http://www.bbc.co.uk/devon/outdoors/walks/cockington.shtml Previously we have had one of these with a
completely plain back apparently intended as
giftware - museum shops have been around for a
long time! Copyright 2000 - 2022, All rights
