Antique Police pottery tile sign - ironstone crown

Antique Police pottery tile sign - ironstone crown

A superb large earthenware pottery tile sign, used as an inset building marker by the British police.

 

A substantial, heavy piece decorated with bold black underglaze 'POLICE' typography, the tile is topped by the King's crown, dating it to the first half of the 20thC before Queen Elizabeth. 

 

Approximate dimensions:

49cm wide

31cm tall

2cm thick

 

Condition:

Unearthed from the ground, the tile is in lovely 'as found' condition and has not even been fully cleaned, most of the brown dirt will clean off the face if desired. There are a few chips around the edge of the tile, with one to the left of the crown, a couple on the bottom right corner and a couple of small ones on the top flat edge. Overall it is in good condition and a rare piece that displays beautifully.
