A fabulous and rare tile by one of the most accomplished tilemakers of the times. An excellent art nouveau design, atypical and very stylish, in bright earth tones yet very brilliantly glazed and with a soft arts & crafts feel. Possibly designed by James Henry Rudd, it was removed from a washstand attributed to Shapland & Petter who along with Rudd were located in Barnstaple.

I've seen maybe two or three over the years but never in sufficiently good condition to meet the asking price, I'm very pleased to add one in perfect condition to my collection and likewise pleased to offer one for sale.

The design is found in a 1905 wholesaler's catalogue albeit with the flowers in blue where it is priced at 14 shillings per dozen about double the price of similar tiles by Barratt, Boote, Richards etc.

Verso perfectly clean, some clay loss from water-based adhesive, embossed England painted pattern number.
