Josiah Wedgwood Patent Impressed Tile

Style: Marsden's Patent Impressed

Manufacturer: Josiah Wedgwood & Sons

Pattern number: R1913

Dimensions: 6" x 6"

Date: circa 1890

Colours: 5

Nice patent impressed tile, a mainstream pattern with daisy like flowers, similar to several other patent impressed designs. Given depth by the powdered green and brown glaze colours releiving the plain background.

Looks like a bad day at the factory the day these were made, possibly an accident or overheating in the kiln. Both tiles have firing cracks which do not affect the strength of the tiles as they are bonded together with glaze, both have glaze on their backs, vapourized from the tile beneath. It looks the tile tiles beneath one had blue decoration (likely a blue patent impressed tile) and on the other it looks like a another tile intervened blocking some of the vapourised glaze. The condition however is excellent, the majolica glaze having high brilliance.

Condition: Excellent+

Price: £45 ($80)

Ref: 01457

Just four tiny chips on the bottom edge and the very slightest of rubbing to high spots.

The corner chip on the back does not go to the front of the tile as it appears in the photo.

Condition: Excellent+

Price: £40 (approx $70)

Ref: 01458

Just one very small chip on the right edge, a very tiny on the top edge and the very slightest of rubbing to high spots.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. 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. Minor surface marks are 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.
