Apparently originally used in a tea tray no
damage to the rim but some light surface scratches
and rubbing not obvious unless caught in the
light. • Style/technique: Pictorial print majolica
glaze Dutch landscapes and children scenes became
popular in the edwardian era when this design
was created, many companies made a few designs.
In the usual range of techniques of the times,
transfer prints, cloisonné moulded, tube
line this one of the least common techniques a
printed imitation of cuerda seca. However this
tile is from the 1930s, Richards made quite a
few edwardian designs in the 1930s with super
brilliant lead glazes perhaps the last gasp for
the process as lead glazes were slowly banned
due to worker health concerns during the mid
twentieth century. Quite popular for tea trays as it appears
this tile was originally used along with the
companion
tile found here. Verso slightly stained (tea?) embossed
Richards, England etc.
