Description

A five-color decal transfer print on a gloss glazed white tile blank depicting a design reminiscent of 19th century transferware. This example bears only the Ceramo Studio imprint with Country Prints identifiers removed. It was likely produced after Ceramo purchased a number of Country Prints designs (c.1969) after Wert’s death in 1966.
