A very rarely found and most superb design
from this the most prolific art tile company.
On a rarely found 'heavy' high fired red clay
body with a distressed surface, overpainted
with engobe and further painted with opaque
and translucent stains and finished with a
most brilliant translucent glaze. The sort of
bold floral design that provokes the reaction
'William de Morgan' but this is most likely
George Cartlidge who was art director for
Sherwins, de Morgan didn't do anything as
complex as these. Fabulous colours, rich
blue, great purple and red and dynamic greens
for the foliage. Versos very clean, embossed Sherwin's
Patent etc and triangle mark, written pattern
number, very slight mortar remains in the
locks, slight clay loss from removal Condition: Perfect Ref: 05001G+H Perfect. Imperfections are manufacturing
