Description
Three Delft tiles 19th century, two painted with grasshoppers and the initials WG for the Gresham family, one with a foliate design in the same palette, 13cm. (3)
A fragment of an identical tile from the 16th century was recovered from William Gresham's house in Limpsfield. It is possible that these 19th century Dutch copies were made for a later member of the Gresham family.
