An excellent, flowing design that fills the tile. Just predating when art nouveau was overwhelmingly popular this has highly stylised flowerheads but rather more realistic leaves as was quite common in designs in the couple of years either side of 1900. Bold design and brilliant glazes.

*This was probably designed in 1901.

Verso very clean, unmarked, known pattern of bars and reserve for registration number.

Condition: Very fine
Price: £80 (approx $155)
Ref: 02909

A few very tiny chips to edges and corners, surface is near perfect, very clean and high brilliance in the glazes.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format and on screen is about the size as it would be in real life at the same distance. A larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format can be forwarded by email if required.

The image is a little oversize rather than cropped close to the edges so that the edges can easily be seen and any chips etc can be quickly spotted. Other marks described are usually not visible at all when the tile is viewed straight as one normally sees it and can only be seen with a critical eye when the tile is tilted to catch imperfections in reflected light. For more details of how we describe marks see Condition.
