Provenance
The Thelma Shepley Tile Collection
No other tile would appear to be recorded in 18th century English porcelain. Tiles of a similar size were staple products of Liverpool delftware factories but at this date porcelain makers would have had great difficultly preventing kiln distortion and keeping any tiles flat. It is interesting to note that, unlike delftware tiles, this unique porcelain tile has been glazed on the back and sides.
