Restoration : Professionally cleaned and polished
Note : Muckross Abbey, in Ireland, may seem a strange subject for a piece of Tunbridge Ware, but its relevance is two-fold; firstly - as you can see - it is almost the archetypal ruin, with its tower, window tracery, vaults and walls;, in addition to this it is the burial place of four of Ireland's most renowned romantic poets (O'Donoghue, O'Rahilly, Ferriter and O'Sullivan) whose works were enjoying a resurgence in popularity at the time this piece was produced.
