Only extremely slight marks. • Style: Classical literary picture The prince offers the slipper to Cinderella's
foot from the series of tiles depicting scenes
from the Cinderella story printed in a nice warm
brown on a pale buff clay. This is similar clay
to that used by Booth for their 'glaze that does
not craze' this also not crazed due to the
semi-vitrified nature of the clay. Malkin were a great tile company, widely
unrecognised but superb tilemakers. They started
making tiles in 1866 and were one of the few
tiles makers to stay in business for over a
century finally falling in to the hands of
Johnsons (who else) in 1968. They did super
quality designs and manufacturing quality
throughout all the eras, more picture series
than are generally known about and some
excellent art nouveau tiles. Verso slightly grubby, Malkin's well known
offset grid and centre ring, unmarked.
