The best known of these specimens is the wheel-back, with a splat perforated in the form of a wheel a design hark. ing back to the days when the country craftsman drew his inspirations from the common objects of everyday life. These slender wheel-backs manage to convey an atmosphere of friendly homeliness that makes them ideal for use in the country cottage.
