flora and fauna A very pretty and quite charming design of a
pair of birds on a flower with butterfly nearby
nicely printed in dark brown and coloured with
four bright colours and brilliantly glazed. As
with many designs of the time featuring birds
and animals quite a sense of humour expressed by
the artist. An uncommon design and by a virtually unheard
of manufacturer Charles Timmis who are recorded
as being tile and earthenware manufacturers from
Longton (now part of Stoke upon Trent). Most
likely they decorated bought in biscuit as this
is different to another also seen. Verso fairly clean, printed pattern
