A fabulous and rarely found tile most challenging to manufacture embossed in low relief and glazed with a superb translucent yet intense glaze creating a most etheral effect. Émaux ombrants art nouveau tiles are incredibly rare even from the masters of the technique Sherwin & Cotton for I have only seen one design by them, no doubt they did others but they made a great range of tiles but apparently few in number. They were a top quality manufacturer and their wares were priced accordingly, the mass market makers such as Boote, Rhodes, Richards and Barratt produced much more affordable wares.

Rarely found perhaps due to the price, in a 1905 catalogue they are shown at thirteen shillings per dozen, for comparison this tile was seven shillings and sixpence per dozen and this tile was five shillings and sixpence per dozen.

Verso very clean, embossed design registration number indicating manufacture soon after the date of the design registration in January 1903. Rubber stamped pattern number
