Great Fire of London delft tiles (cont.)

Great Fire of London delft tiles (cont.)

Here are final 11 (of the 48) limited edition delft tiles designs that I produced for the Artists of Spitalfields Life exhibtion at Ben Pentreath Ltd, Rugby-street, London. Those unsold have now relocated to the Town House gallery on Fournier-street, Spitalfields until the end of December. Hurry and catch a bargain!

The tiles are inspired by the Great Fire of London 1666 - food, fire, pestulence, carnality and the Merrie Monarch!

 

Oysters, from Colchester, Wallfleet or Whitstable. Food of the common man.
