Super pictorial tiles of idyllic scenes of
boys and girls playing in the countryside in the
style of Kate Greenaway. Just six in the series
and we have them all here, they would look great
fitted in to a washstand etc for use in a
child's bedroom or nursery. An uncommon series
from Wedgwood although well known of as they are
noted by Austwick and Lockett but perhaps only
because of their appearance in the Wedgwood
pattern book as we do not often see them around
the trade. Lockett includes a picture on page
159 taken from the Wedgwood pattern book.
Versos very clean, embossed Josiah Wedgwood
& Son, Etruria.
Few very tiny chips, very minor surface
marks
