"The Fox & the Goat in the Well" · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: "The Fox & the Goat in the Well"
Description: 1875? Six-inch square tile titled "The Fox & the Goat in the Well." Manufactured by Mintons China Works, Stoke on Trent. Designed by John Moyr Smith. Unknown source.

In this lively scene, can we see in their faces the arrogance of the fox and the ignorance ofthe goat? Lovely brown and cream colors. The title is read in curious fashion, starting from nine o'clock and reading toward three o'clock, and then restarting from eight and reading toward four. In the upper left and lower right, one needs to read going up; the key is to start as far left as possible and always move right.
Date: 1875?
