Six Liverpool delftware tiles, circa 1770-80

Printed by Guy Green in black and washed over in various tones of green enamel, the Neoclassical subjects including the Three Graces (E1-9a), a muse with a lyre (E1-7a), the four seasons (E1-10a), Apollo (E1-6a), and Hercules between Vice and Virtue (E1-1), 12-12.5cm wide (6)

Footnotes

Provenance
Graham Slater Collection

See Anthony Ray, Liverpool Printed Tiles, ECC Trans, Vol.9, Pt.1 (1973), pp.62-63, where these printed tiles are referenced. Ray suggests the design and the ribbon-tie 'frame' on the Hercules between Vice and Virtue tile must derive from the Wedgwood and Bentley plaque with the same subject illustrated at pl.33e.
