Private:
Three large cast earthenware tiles, with decoration in high relief in the High Renaissance style, and with opaque Majolica glazes (light grey-green on the background and white on the relief decoration). On two tiles the decoration consists of a putto facing to the right and thrusting down with a spear, whose tip would have been on the adjoining tile along with the mythical lion that the putto is attacking; a scroll of foliage surrounds the putto. The decoration of the third tile consists of a slightly more elaborate circular acanthus scroll and a central flower motif. These tiles come from a larger panel in the Renaissance Revival style of Alfred Stevens.
