A pair of Spode creamware tiles and a pair of creamware dairy tiles, probably Wedgwood, circa 1775-80 and 1806-10

The Spode tiles printed in red with central portions of the 'Greek' pattern, one with 'Zeus in his Chariot', the other with 'Refreshments for Phliasian Horsemen', 12.7cm square, the probably Wedgwood tiles printed in black and washed in green with husk swags and patterae, 18cm (4)

Footnotes

Spode's use of the 'Pluck and Dust' method to print from copper plates in red commenced in 1806 and the Spode factory had a 'Red Shop' for the purpose. Wedgwood favoured 7-inch tiles in creamware, mostly sold for dairies. These were largely printed by Guy Green in Liverpool.
