Nursery rhyme tiles by Dorincourt

Charming tiles from this Leatherhead company who employed disabled ex-servicemen and women after the Second World War. They are on H&R Johnson blanks dated 1975, and seem to bear the monogram of Geoff Mead, who also designed animals and birds for the company. Some of Dorincourt's output might be regarded as rather traditional in style, other examples of their work are very classy.

Thanks to Chris Blanchett for the info about Geoff Mead in his decorative tile 'Bible'.
