Three tiny rim chips and other very slight
marks. Style/technique: Classical arts &
crafts This is a super little tile from the famous
decorators W B Simpson, quite different, really
very nice and uunusual, I may suggest one for
the tile collector who has everything. A
classical influenced design border tile but with
a complete pattern on the tile and with a superb
central picture of a stylised dolphin. Those
lovely blue and 'gold' classical colours, really
pleasant and of broad appeal. Verso stained from adhesive presumably
furniture glue, one can see how the 6" x 6"
blank made for Simpsons by Maw & Co has been
trimmed to size prior to decorating and glazing.
Painted number 13, if that be a pattern number
the tile could be a decade or so earlier than
indicated.
