Description

17th-18th century A.D.. Comprising two tile designs in relief: three horses in an enclosure; two animals, likely cats, fighting; coloured glazes. Cf. similar specimen in the British Museum, inventory no.OA.9377. 1.29 kg total, 9.9 x 9.1 - 10.2 x 9.3 cm (3 7/8 x 8 5/8 - 4 x 3 5/8 in.).

The tile production increased in the second half of the 16th century and during the following centuries. The fragments discovered from various localities (pot-tiles, rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal panels, open-work crest tiles) were all produced in regional workshops, from the end of the 15th century or at the beginning of the 16th century. They all had diverse decorative motifs, mainly animals and geometrical or vegetal combinations, almost all of them singular finds for this study area.

Acquired 1990s-early 2000s. East Anglian private collection. [8, No Reserve]
