Arts & Crafts Wall Tile Tube-lined Lusterware Anchor Design By Carter & Co C1907
This is an extremely rare and unique tubelined and kind of lusterware tile with an anchor design, made by Carter & Co around 1907.
This tile, along with others in the same style and production technique, has been custom-made by Carter & Co / Poole Pottery for The Mountbatten House, Southampton Seamen’s Home, to decorate the walls.
The Seamen’s' Home was opened in 1909 to accommodate the Sailors of the merchant navy. 24 of the crew members of the RMS Titanic stayed there the night before they sailed on their fateful journey.
The Southern Daily Echo explained the relationship between the Southampton Seamen’s' Home in an article titled "Titanic sailors' resting place".
Twenty Years after the construction of the Seamen’s House, the owner decided to add another floor to the building. Sadly, during the development of the third floor, all the tiles in the rooms and halls on the 1st and 2nd floors were removed and dismantled. However, the ground floor was spared for vague reasons, and the walls were painted over to cover them.
There have been few examples of this tile left intact, this is the only example with this design that I have.
Despite its age and the way it was removed from the wall, it is in very good condition, with some chips around the edges and surface marks.
It measures 6" x 6" square and 1.5cm in thickness.
