Medieval tile depicting King Mark & Tristram from the C13th Tristram Tiles which tell the tale of the adulterous love affair between Tristram and Isolde. The tiles were made at Chertsey Abbey, and are now part of the collections at the British Museum. 📸 My own #TilesOnTuesday

#TilesOnTuesday :
Earthenware Tile, c. 1875
Design by CHRISTOPHER DRESSER (British, 1834-1904)
Manufactured by MINTON (British, Stoke-on-Trent)
On display at Metropolitan Museum of Art (1991.110.2)
“Highly stylized and executed in a striking blue and white, Dresser's elegant design captures his dedication to the study of Japanese decorative arts. The bright moon behind the dancing #cranes creates an otherworldly, almost mystical atmosphere.”

Tile made by the potter Jan Spoer from Issum, NRW, Germany. in 1721.
The tile was made as an advertisement for his work with a proud plea for his craftsmanship and the request not to haggle on the price because he makes honest work that deserves a fair price.
Coll: Museum Burg Linn, Krefeld, DE
