I'm not a great fan of Pilkington or should I say its reputation is overstated for lesser known companies like Sherwin & Cotton, Marsden, malkin etc made more and far superior tile stylistically and technically. But this is a gem from Pilkington, soft movement, pure style and super colours. Much of the rarity no doubt comes from the date of introduction for fashions had moved on past the highly decorative art nouveau, plain tiles were in, decorated tiles were more nondescript blending of art nouvea, classical and conventionalised flowers. Political tensions and industrial unrest sapped the will for bold expression of artistic styles and so 1912 was a far cry from the heady heights of art nouveau in 1900 - 1907. Versos very clean, embossed 'P' in opposing corners and design registration number.   Information Tiles For Sale Contacts Order Information
