A rare two-colour printed tile with a lively arts & crafts design that fills the tile, designed by L. A. Shuffrey and printed in blues by Mintons. This the fourth example of the design I can recall seeing but the only one in blue.

Leonard Atkinson Shuffrey had offices at 38 Welbeck St, Cavendish Sq, London, an architect working in the era of the arts & crafts movement he worked with designs by many of the famous names. Austwick comments that L A Shuffrey designed lustre tiles for Edwards 'in imitation of William de Morgan's work'. Just two tile designs were registered by Shuffrey but others have been seen with his name verso. He authored a book entitled The English Fireplace, published in 1912.

Leonard Shuffrey had been an architect's assistant, he left that employment to set himself up as an Architectural Decorator. Shuffrey and Company was founded in 1880 at 38, Welbeck Road, London. He and the business were to become very successful in the design of wallpaper, wall&endash;friezes, wall&endash;tiles, and many other items produced for the interior decoration of the grand homes of the wealthy, and for important public and private buildings. - Based upon http://www.jwnewport.co.uk/FHistory/newport/WPN/WPN-Bio.htm.

Verso perfectly clean, embossed Mintons etc, printed design registration number.
