A lovely pair of nature study tiles of
birds, berries and blossom by Henry Ollivant
of Cliffe Vale in Stoke on Trent, a mid-size
tilemaker who produced excellent art tiles.
Printed in dark brown and painted with an
array of bright colours on a strong white
body and brilliantly glazed. When buying
fireplaces in the Midlands in the 1970s, 80s
and 90s we saw quite a few of these likely

ironfounder was a reseller of Ollivant's
tiles, now we see them much less
frequently. Versos unmarked, very clean. Condition:Very fine Ref: 06323/4 Left Tile: Half a dozen tiny rim chips,
