Earthenware Tile, c. 1875
Design by CHRISTOPHER DRESSER (British, 1834-1904)
Manufactured by MINTON (British, Stoke-on-Trent)
On display at Metropolitan Museum of Art (1991.110.2)
“Highly stylized and executed in a striking blue and white, Dresser's elegant design captures his dedication to the study of Japanese decorative arts. The bright moon behind the dancing #cranes creates an otherworldly, almost mystical atmosphere.”

Tile made by the potter Jan Spoer from Issum, NRW, Germany. in 1721.

From C16, the Barnstaple (north Devon) tile industry produced lead-glazed relief tiles for local churches as well as ones in Cornwall. At least 64 designs defined by Keen (1969). These, found in Launcells, Cornwall, include fleur-de-lys, swan, heads, lion, as well as several flower designs.

another of the 420 original 1906 Moravian tile mosaics by Henry Chapman Mercer on the Pennsylvania Capitol floor, many featuring PA animals: 374, “Crotalus.” That’s the scientific name for a genus of rattlesnakes, only one of which is native to PA: Crotalus horridus, the Timber Rattlesnake.
