Footnotes

Provenance
With Jonathan Horne (three largest Bristol tiles)
Graham Slater Collection

Anthony Ray realised that tiles in the so-called 'Fazackerley' palette were not unique to Liverpool. He illustrates tiles similar to examples in this lot in his book, English Delftware Tiles (1973), nos.370-373, 409, 506, 507 and 509. The attribution of similar tiles is also discussed by Jonathan Horne, English Tin-Glazed Tiles (1989).
