A resized image of Post medieval delft tile fragment

A fragment of a post medieval polychrome delft tile. One corner of the tile and fragments of two of the original edges have survived. One face is tin glazed with blue, purple and yellow; the central zoomorphic design (blue and yellow) is now blurred but sits within a border of concentric circles. Most of the circles are blue but one in the middle is purple. It measures 114.9mm (length) x 58.5mm (width) x 15.7mm (thickness) and weighs 140.58g.

Roy Stephenson has examined this fragment and suggested that it was made at the Rothehithe pottery in London and dates to c. 1640 to 1660 AD.

Notes:

Identified by Roy Stephenson Medieval and Post Medieval pottery specialist.
