3104. (tile) English Wedgewood Nantucket Sankoty Head Lighthouse Souvenir Tile c.1890-1910. From lovely Nantucket comes this rare English Wedgewood Nantucket Sankoty Head Lighthouse Souvenir Tile in cobalt blue decoration made for local shops in about 1890-1910. A superb, bright, cobalt blue commemorative tile features a large, beautiful clear, detailed image of the tall “Sankoty Head” Lighthouse, first lighted in 1850 on the steep sand bluff. This piece is quite rare and is one of the more attractive that I have had. This pretty display piece measures 6” square and is enhanced by a decorative flowered border in the corners. Back marked “Wedgewood Etruria England” “H. S. Wyer, Nantucket. Sole Importers Jones McDuffee & Stratton Boston”. Also with brief historical notes of the construction and lighting on the back. Clean and bright, light edge wear and crazing from age. A fine display piece. Rare in this form. (VG+). $225.
