Description:

An earthenware tile printed in underglaze blue in a design of a vase containing laurel sprays in a tripod stand, with a rising or setting sun. Unmarked but probably made in England.  The decoration of this tile can be associated with the style known as  Aestheticism. Prevalent in the 1870s and 1880s, this movement in the  painting and the applied arts placed great value
