Maker: Unknown Printer: John Sadler Description: Tin-glazed earthenware (so-called delftware) tile, printed in manganese. This type of tile, printed from the surface of a block or plate rather than from its engraved lines, is probably the earliest type printed by Sadler in Liverpool. It has generally been assumed that they were printed from a woodblock, but a metal plate is also a possibility. The type is rare and appears to have been short lived, replaced by tiles printed from the engraved lines of a copper plate. The design on this tile is no. A3-1 in Anthony Ray's Liverpool Printed Tiles (1994). |
