Ceramic tile frieze, "River House", York
I am very fond of decorative ceramic tiles having had a job for many years that was swimming in them - no pun intended! These joyous mythical fish can be found in the Gentlemans in what was the Yorkshire Club, now River House in York. They aren't described in the official Listing for this 1868 building and, if I'm honest, they feel later than 1868 more Edwardian in style. As to makers - the field and frieze tiles have a real feel of Medmenham but there were so many manufacturers at the time. That said they are lovely tiles.
