Dawes illustrates five tile designs by the firm "from the small range of majolica tiles...produced at the Trent potteries of George Jones & Sons, Stoke-on-Trent, circa 1880. He observes, "George Jones did not compete strongly in the decorative tile market, and examples from this factory, all of which were majolica-glazed, are rare."* For thirty years, we have been among the world’s preeminent specialists in fine antique majolica.
