In a great shade of blue on a good white body. This series and some others have been suggested to be the work of Walter Crane but in an interview with Crane for the Art Journal's 1898 Easter Art Annual he said that he had only designed tiles for Maw & Co. Some of Cranes designs from illustrated novels however appear handpainted on tiles. Verso is marked Josiah Wedgwood & Sons etc

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. A larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format can be forwarded by email if required. The image is a little oversize rather than cropped close to the edges so that the edges can easily be seen and any chips etc can be quickly spotted. Other marks described are usually not visible at all when the tile is viewed straight as one normally sees it and can only be seen with a critical eye when the tile is tilted to catch imperfections in reflected light.
