Item Details

A reclaimed Carter & Co of Poole Pottery tile featuring a stylised heraldic lion rampant.


Although this tile is unmarked, a similar example is on display in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, and was purchased from Carter & Co in 1926.


Detailing a hand painted stylised blue lion within a green wreath before an off-white background, this 5 inch collectors tile is a stunning decorative interior piece for display or part of a collector’s cabinet.


Carter & Co


Carter Tiles, later Carter & Co, was founded in 1873 by Jesse Carter, a builder’s merchant and ironmonger from Surrey, who bought James Walker’s brick and tile business on the East Quay at Poole.


By the 1880’s Carters was competing with other manufacturers on a national level, before expanding in 1895.


In the early 20th century, the demand for decorative ceramics grew and Carter went on to supply beautiful tiles, much like these ones, to breweries, pubs, hospitals, schools, retailers, municipal authorities and many others all around the country.
