COMPLEAT ANGLER GILLAROO TROUT 6 INCH WALL TILE
Excellent Spotted Trout Fish - Mint Never Used Condition!
|
I am pleased to offer a Portmeirion Compleat Angler 6 inch square wall tile.
The fish featured on the tile is the Gillaroo Trout or Salmo Stomachius.
With an application of a felt backing, this item would make an excellent trivet.
This tile is in mint and new condition.
I have many of these Compleat Angler tiles. A few have a small shallow
scrape only ON THE BACKSIDE that will not affect application of the tile to a surface.
If you plan to use the tile as a trivet, please let me know and will provide a tile with a flawless back.
Designed as an offering for the male market, fish designs were taken from the
1879 book The Compleat Angler - British Fishes by M. J. Lydon.
This dish DOES have the name of the fish on the transfer. Some Compleat Angler items do not carry the fish name.

The tile face is mint without any flaw. A few of the Angler tiles have a small shallow scrape on a BACK corner that will not affect application
of the tile to a surface. Please let me know if you plan to use the tile as a trivet and will provide a tile without a backside flaw.

A very nice Gillaroo Trout wall tile in great condition!

The back is off white, unglazed, and embossed with 'H & R Johnson Tile' and
'Made In England'. There are also a few other marks that look like cutting guides.
