Staffordshire England ~ 1880

This Victorian 6 " x 6 "tile is transfer printed in black against a white background showing good detail and good contrast.

The tile is from the Watteau series in the style of the French artist Jean-Antoine Watteau. The series features a Rococco style border with a man and woman in their 18th century period dress. They rest under an old tree with picnic basket and young puppy at their feet.

Great condition.
