Liverpool Sadler & Green Transfer Printed Delft Tile ‘One Eyed Doe’ Aesop’s Fables, 1757-61, a doe on a shoreline being shot at by sailors from a boat with ships in the distance, wood frame, 5” square. Chips to edge.

          RPW00514            $180

The tale goes that a one eyed doe was grazing along the shore, with her good eye turned inland.   Her disability blinded her to the archer who shot her from a boat.  The moral being that one cannot predict fate.  Sadler updated the story with sailors (presumably from the sloop or ship offshore) who shoot the doe with a musket, rather than a bow.  

This design can also be found in green and red on sets of creamware plates, (See – Victoria & Albert Museum, Schreiber Collection).
