A super design of the swirling floral genre printed in a super soft but not weak blue. More art nouveau than many of the genre, some may question if it is really art nouveau but I'll say more so than not.

The design is found in majolica by Pilkington and attributed to James Henry Rudd by Tony Cross, a design for a stove by Rudd is illustrated in The Studio magazine. Being the author of Practical Cabinet Making and Draughting and principal author of Cabinet making; Principles of Designing, Construction and Laying Out Work his main interest seems to have been furniture but his talents extended to other products. He is described as a desiger of interior decorations, furniture, metal-work, tiles and pottery, textile fabrics and stained glass and designed tiles for Godwin & Hewitt. He lived in Barnstaple, also home to Shapland & Petter fine furniture makers, and likely designed some of their pieces. Furniture from Shapland & Petter was often fitted with tiles from quality makers including Godwin & Hewitt, Marsden and Mintons.

This print may be a copy but it is not always as clear cut as it may seem, Pilkington amongst many were known to copy designs of others. Certainly it is well engraved and printed and having seen a few examples this would seem to be the norm. No major printing flaws and super graduations in tone it is a superb printed tile and with a clear, brilliant glaze too.

Versos very clean, ring grip pattern similar to Boote's, pattern number very faintly printed.
