Provenance

The Anthony & Marietta Coleridge Collection

Walton & Co were a Wolverhampton based manufacturer, trading for a short period from 1842 to 1847. They are associated with a series so called 'gothic' shaped trays, of relatively good size like this one, which were well-painted with all-over landscape views, or figures in landscapes. They were generally lettered and stamped on the reverse but seldom signed by the artist. Most have survived in very good condition which suggests they were regarded as decorative pictures rather than serviced as tea trays.
