Tile, 6 x 6 inches. Brown transfer. Unknown maker, possibly Steele & Wood. This pattern features a Tudor rose in the center of a double-banded circle, with leaves in groups of three radiating outwards from four equidistant points around the rose. The border consists of an alternating checker pattern.
The Tudor rose (sometimes called the Union rose) is the traditional floral heraldic emblem of England and takes its name and origins from the House of Tudor, which united the House of Lancaster and the House of York. The Tudor rose consists of five white inner petals, representing the House of York, and five red outer petals to represent the House of Lancaster.
Steele & Wood made tiles from around 1877 to 1911 in Hanley, Staffordshire, England.
