(M154)

As a result of the success of William de Morgan's lustreware, other tile firms began to introduce a limited number of lustre decorated tiles. These firms included Pilkington, JC Edwards, Craven Dunnill and Maws. This tile is part of a fireplace panel similar to those exhibited at the 1906 Paris World Fair. A tentative attribution would be Lewis Day or Richard Joyce.
