Description: | This is one of a set of twelve samples dating from some time between 1850 and 1900. Each sample shows two different patterns. Tin plate is actually iron covered with a thin layer of tin to provide protection from rust. Wolverhampton was a centre for tin plate wares, and they were often made and decorated by producers of japanned ware. Wolverhampton manufacturers continued to produce cheap tin plate wares after japanned ware went out of fashion.
Tin tray sample with rounded ends and long sides narrowing towards the centre. |
