One of, and I would suggest the most
charming of, a select genre of art nouveau tiles
I have christened 'the cartoon characters'.
Originating in 1907, a prolific year for art
nouveau designs as tile makers responded to the
downturn in the decorative tile market
especially the bold art nouveau designs that
dominated the first few years of the 20th
century. Shortly after the cartoon characters we
find the introduction of another sub-genre, the
jewelled art nouveau designs. Super colours, a
lovely rich blue ground and sunny (flower) head.
