A couple of very tiny rim chips and the
slightest of surface marks. Style/technique: Pictorial multicolour
print A charming scene of young lovers in the
garden admiring the roses nicely printed in rich
colours. A super quality print given the early
date. This is a very interesting tile, the design
appears to be a print made for tableware applied
to a tile and could have been made by many of
the potteries in Stoke upon Trent or beyond.
Such bright and good quality multicolour
printing almost certainly must be early 20thC
and the tile body suggests Edwardian. The
biscuit is good quality, slightly thicker than
usual, possibly by Maw, verso is very clean. 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.
