Maryport framed ceramic tile is by Newcastle based artist Emily Ward. Emily has created this lovely framed ceramic tile from her original artwork of Maryport. The ceramic tile is hand pressed and framed in Emily's studio.
The 19th century iron lighthouse stands proud at the end of the South pier under a sky filled with hints of pink and lilac.
The small mountains on the far side of the Solway Firth can be seen through Emily's splashes of sea spray.

Maryport
Maryport
is a lovely harbour town in Cumbria, and is situated just outside the Lake District National Park. The town is one of the southernmost towns on the Solway Firth, the River Ellen flows through Maryport into the Solway Firth.
The lighthouse was established in 1846 and is reported to be the oldest cast-iron lighthouse in the UK. The lighthouse is 4.7metres high.
The Grade II listed building consists of an octagonal metal plinth, column & lantern on top of a rusticated stone base.
The renowned artist L S Lowry used the lighthouse in several of his paintings.
Ceramic Framed Tile
Each Framed Tile is hand finished by North East Artist Emily Ward. So although your ceramic framed tile is actually a print, no two tiles are identical. Emily hand finishes the tiles by adding extra paint to the ceramic tile.
The framed tile appears as if it is floating inside the frame.
Frames are available in White and Black Frames.
Each frame is 27 x 27 x 5cm
Colours may vary as each tile is printed individually.
