This may well be the first design produced by the new specialist tile department at Wedgwood which later then went on to use the same ranges of pattern numbers, for transfer prints, block prints, majolica glaze etc wares as the pottery works. Like any history there are gaps in the record, things taken be true that do no make sense, speculation which has become conventional wisdom. I've also seen a No.3 design from Wedgwood which is somewhere in one of the histiorically important boxes of my collection it being not especially decorative. The tile is a good design, three printed solid colours, quite well done for the times, some good movment, stylistically a classical aesthetic fusion I guess one could say. I'm not surprised it is rare, the pattern is rather dense for interior design use and with Wedgwood just starting out on the specialist tile making venture the marketing would have not yet been well established. So a fascinating tile, definitely one for a specialist collector, perhaps a museum.
