Very tiny chip top right corner, very tiny flake
near bottom left corner. Style: Art
nouveau These are superb tiles, the design seen from
time to time but this group having the most
amazing glazes, richly translucent and with
great warmth. The design of the triple tulip
genre has been seen in several colourways,
typical greens and yellows, pastel colours
including with turquoise and mauve, even
monochrome, this is colourway number 2 so it was
likely designed with these colours in mind. It is not just the glaze colours but the
overpainting of the raised outline, something
that Richards did occasionally which few others
did, the reason is to prevent the bright white
of the outline detracting from the glazes. Some
tiles have heavy outlines that have been created
with little thought for the appearance rather
seeking to overcome the problem of glaze spills
and are only really suited to decorating in
light colours therefore avoiding the contrast.
This is the reason why the great majority of
tubeline tiles use stained slip for the outline
so it fades to the background and allows the
glze colours to dominate. The line painting treatment of these creates
an arts and crafts effect the stain unable to
precisely follow the raised line and making each
tile more of a unique object. Versos very clean, embossed England and
design registration number, stamped pattern
number. Four minute rim chips. One very tiny, half a dozen minute rim
chips. Two very tiny, half a dozen minute rim
chips. Two very tiny rim chips, very minor surface
marks.
