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. * This description is earmarked for updating as new information in respect of the Patent Impressed process has come to light, see this item for an explanation. |

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. 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. For more details of how we
describe marks see Condition. |
