An exceedingly rare tile having a pair of stylised dolphins in high relief besides a staff in a manner reminiscent of the caduceus design. The maker previously unknown to me, well at least the name and address embossed verso for I suspect it likely that manufacture, at least in part, was subcontracted to another. J C Edwards another Ruabon company had many tiles made for them by Maw & Co.. The manufacture of the clay body is excellent however the glaze painting of the green less so suggesting the biscuit was moulded elsewhere.

Eschewing speculation it is without doubt a superb tile and in great condition whilst showing some signs of age and manutfacturing constraints of the times.

Verso clean apart from remnants of latex adhesive, embossed Ruabon Glazed Brick & Fire Clay Co Ld, Pant Works, Ruabon.
