Chip/wear top right corner otherwise
perfect. Style: Art
nouveau A rather rare and most outstanding art
nouveau tile from the famous and most prolific
maker. A complex design and complex in
manufacturing too with fine impressed patterns
with the pattern going close to the edge
especially the top edge some leniency must be
offered in respect of the painting. Most art
nouveau designs, especially those from the
continent of Europe, used only a raised outline
with no other relief which made modeling of the
pattern plates a very rudimentary process. The
detail in this design is superb with intricate
detail to the middle of the flowers, subtle
embossing to the surrounding leaves and bold
spade and flowerhead impressed patterns to the
cheeks. Rare because the pattern fills the tile
rather too much for most applications where they
are framed indeed it appears in the catalogue as
a hearth border along with complimentary
diagonal corner tiles. This group however were
framed and approx. 1/4" (6mm) was hidden by the
frame. Not previously seen in this colourway and it
is a fabulous colourway, perhaps surprisingly
the design is seen more often in monochrome
albeit rarely. Essentially earth tones although
the background could be construed as having some
blue content, whilst lacking bold reds, blues,
purples &tc it is a fabulous colourway. Versos perfectly clean, embossed England. Half a dozen rim chips, the painting/surface is
the tidiest of the group.
