A really attractive, group of four, large, Wedgwood transfer printed picture tiles. Each tile is printed, in blue, with a character from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Nights Dream'. The transfers show the characters in scenes from the play and each one has a stylised floral border. Each tile is marked to the reverse, in the moulding of the tile, 'JOSIAH WEDGWOOD & SONS ETRURIA' and they date from c.1880. The designs are influenced by the Arts Nouveau style and they are all quite beautiful. There are some very tiny chips to the rims, as often happens with tiles, but generally, their condition is very good. The size given refers to each tile.
