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.

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!
