Burmantofts, Leeds, England 1859-1957
Art tiles were produced by this company between 1880 and 1904 at the instigation of James Holroyd, the works manager, as an addition to industrial glazed ceramic products. Companies such as Mintons, Royal Doulton and William De Morgan had established a market for middle-class home decorative objects.
This delightful antique relief tile features putti playing musical instruments. Glossy green glazing and holes for hanging. This tile has been glued and priced accordingly, but because it is so unusual and these are hard to find, we wanted to list it.
6” x 4 1/2” x 3/8” thick
Good condition for its age
