Condition Report

A few very tiny and a few minute edge chips, surface is perfect, perfectly clean and very high glaze brilliance.

 
An amazing full design akin to arts & crafts style interweaving foliage but rather more interesting with highly stylised flowers and a near unique decorating style in a warm chocolate brown print and from a rarely found manufacturer.

The double outline style is rarely seen on English tiles, more often on French to whom BWM presumably sold many tiles as some have printing in French language on them, it creates a unique effect, a sort of quirky third dimension to the design. The birds are also interesting, more stylised than usual being decorated more with patterns rather than shading and hatching. In all a fascinating design and execution, a rare example of Anglo-Franco-Japanesque design!

Near perfectly clean grid verso with B W M & Co embossed.

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.
