A highly stylised floral design which gives the impression of a bulls head with horns, the pattern number indicating that the design was originated in 1906. A slightly unusual combination of a full Art Nouveau flower draped with a classical swag and droppers. Super colours, the background is that wonderful aqua bluey green that looks more blue in daylight and more green in artificial (incandescent) light. The mauve and yellow in the flowerhead make a great focal point to the tile.

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. 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.
