In original catalogues one often sees such border patterns with complimentary corner tiles shown as borders for hearths. It's a great design, I love the mauve of the flower and buds. A design that is more difficult to glaze paint successfully due to the true embossing, the lack of outline on the substantive elements. Given that as one may suspect it is an early design according to the pattern number introduced 1902 to 1904 however this was made much later having the grip pattern from around 1930.
