| References | Maw & Co was a Shropshire firm which began making tiles in the 1850’s. By the 1880’s, they were making a range of useful wares to the latest fashion- such as this piece. They used the firm of Pratt to decorated some wares, as Pratt had pioneered the multi-colour printing technique on pottery. Some wares bear the Pratt mark, others Maw & Co, and many are unmarked. The design is referred to as ‘griffon’, but lacks an eagle’s head and so should be a ‘winged lion’. |
