Antique American - Mosaic- Nursery Rhyme Picture Tile
$215.00
Terrific picture tile from the series designed by Walter Crane, "A Baby's Opera", c. 1880-1890. Here is "King Cole" from the Mosaic Tile Company, Zanesville, OH. The tile is transfer printed in a rich and vibrant palette and covered in a soft satin glaze. Walter Crane's initials appear contained within a circle in the upper left corner and the back has the Mosaic lozenge stamp. It is in very good condition with light nick to the lower left corners as shown. Please write with any questions you may have. **I have included pages from an original edition of the actual 19th Century "Baby's Opera"; the book is not included in this sale.
I have two examples of this tile. The second is also in excellent condition with light edge wear/nibbles as shown in the second tile photographed; it is offered for sale at $195.00 and is in a slightly richer colorway.
