Tiles from Dovecot Studios
This Scottish concern was primarily involved in making tapestries, but through the 1950s and 1960s printed ceramics, many of them designed by the great Robert Stewart.
Top row, two from the 'Canterbury Tales' series, the Wife of Bath and the Squire. Lower row, centre is a Robert Stewart bird, and the piper is part of a series of tourist souvenirs by Gordon Huntly. The East Coast fisher lady is by Tom Shanks.
